Candied Apple Cinnamon Granola Bar Recipe

November 2, 2015 By Gwen Brown 15 Comments

The granola bar recipe I posted years ago is still my kids ABSOLUTE favorite. It’s relatively healthy, since it’s sweetened with honey and peanut butter.

Orange Peach Sugar Free Syrup

October 29, 2013 By Gwen Brown 16 Comments

I promised this orange peach syrup recipe a (mumble) weeks ago, and today, I deliver.
Peach & orange have been a favorite flavor combination since I was in middle school, and my Mom made some fuzzy navel Nada-ritas one weekend. The tartness of oranges PERFECTLY compliments the tangy sweet notes of peaches.
