Today begins my new series of posts in which I will share recipes for yummy, healthy treats for you to make for your family.
You’ll appreciate these recipes if you:
a) Took the NO SUGAR Plunge.
b) Want to take the NO SUGAR Plunge.
c) Have never heard of the NO SUGAR Plunge.
d) Like yummy food.
e) Have a family who likes to eat.
f) Want to avoid white sugar and white flour.
g) Want to make the most of every bite you put into your mouth.
h) Some of the above.
i) None of the above.
j) All of the above.
(I’m sorry, but if you chose ( j ), I must let you know that that particular option is not really an option…as you can not take the plunge having never heard of the plunge…nor can you “some of the above” at the same time as you can “none of the above”. If you chose ( j ), it would appear that you eat way too much sugar to function properly, proving that you should really take the NO SUGAR Plunge with us!)
My goal with these recipes is to help us all to be able to offer our families special dishes/desserts/drinks/snacks that we can feel good about. They will not have any processed sugars or flours in them…and as much as I can…I’ll try to post recipes that don’t even have flour at all!
If you have any suggestions for recipes you’d like to see, email me or leave a comment about it! I LOVE to find or invent new recipes! I’ll do my best to see what I can come up with!
If you have a wholesome recipe that I might post, email it to me!
And here…is the promised recipe for Peanut Butter Honey Bars:
1 cup peanut butter (be sure to use natural peanut butter with only peanuts and salt in the ingredient list!)
1/2 cup honey
1 egg
1/4 t. vanilla
1/8 cup sesame seeds
Mix all ingredients well. Spread mixture into a 8×8 pan. (I used a baking stone) Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Allow bars to cool completely before cutting.
These Peanut Butter Honey Bars are moist and satisfying! And so easy to make!
Stay tuned for more yummy recipes! Soon to come (listed in no particular order):
*Super Smoothies*
*Creamy Pudding*
*Fruit Cobbler*
*Coconut Macaroons*
*Limeade*
And oh so many more! I can’t wait to share these with you!
Be sure to leave a comment to let us all know how you’re doing with the Plunge…or if you’d like to jump in with us!
Check in at Tammy’s Recipes for other kitchen tips today!
And be sure to come back tomorrow for another recipe to treat your family. I’m not sure…but I’m leaning toward the Creamy Pudding…
Any votes on that one?

Those sound wonderful! I’m on a cleanse right now, so no honey (or even peanut butter or eggs, for that matter), but when I’m finished, I’ll be making these. We only use honey in our cooking and baking, so I love to find other honey recipes.
I noticed that you’re a Nourishing Traditions advocate- so am I! I’ll have to come back and visit!

I can not WAIT to get home tonight and make these! (and keep myself from the girlscout cookies for a while longer:-). I think these will work well for me since they are mostly protein and natural sweet- not processed!

Suezque says:
Oh my goodness!!! YUM-O! I came home and made these before I even started dinner
and now I am having to distract myself until they are cool so that I don’t just go sit down in front of the pan with a spoon!!! MMMM!
I think next time I’m gonna try making these with almond butter (tomorrow maybe…)

I love how few ingredients this calls for. And I love anything that requires a glass of milk.

I made these last night and they WERE yummy! I did change it up a bit and I added some flaked coconut. I took them to my Bible study and everyone loved them!
