gran-oh-la-la

I love granola bars but I can have them always as they are a bit pricey so everytime I get boxed granola on sale I make my own granola bars which is perfect for breakfast on the go!

Granola Bars
ingredients:
-125 grams butter
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 cups granola mix
-1/2 cup all purpose flour

how to:
- grease a baking pan and set aside, preheat oven to 350 degrees
- in a heavy saucepan melt butter with sugar and honey, stir until sugar is dissolved
- add granola and mix until granola is coated with the sugar mixture
- drop by rounded spoonfuls onto baking sheet,
- bake for about 20 minutes until crispy or less if you want it chewy




like cookies the mixture spreads during baking, I just round the edges by a spoon to keep the shape perfect. Alternatively you can use a pan and bake them like brownies - slicing into squares while they are still warm or bake them loose onto the baking sheets which is perfect for youghurt topping.

Thai in a jiffy

Probably the thing I love most about traveling is the culinary adventures - the hunt for that ever famous restaurant and finding out what the fuss is all about or just stumbling upon some hidden gem of a food joint with the tastiest most authentic dishes gives me more thrills than finding a bargain at the malls.  A year ago I am fortunate enough to travel to Bangkok Thailand with my family and boy did we eat! me and my dad were even brave enough to snack on fried crickets! yes crickets! I thought it would be icky but when you get pass the fact that they are once moving bugs you get know that they taste like crispy fried shrimps, kind of sweet and crunchy, it was good enough for me! I was kinda missing Thai food and so stumbling upon an instant Pad Thai pack at the grocers I had a quick idea of making a Thai themed Thursday dinner. I decided on making the Pad Thai and some chicken satay - I had once tried to make the peanut dipping sauce from internet recipes but it w...
