Make Your Own Larabars

I recently wrote about how I love LARABARS and shared where you can snag a coupon. These bars are healthy and delicous…and a wonderful grab and go treat! I love having them on hand! (Mmmm…Cashew Cookie.)
However…
You may be interested in learning to make your own variety of these bars! They aren’t difficult and making them yourself will cut the cost just a bit! Katie at Kitchen Stewardship has a lovely and popular eBook called Healthy Snacks to Go. Included in the eBook are 14 varieties of “Larabar Knock-offs”!!!!!! (Not to mention, a bunch of other yummy, healthy snack recipes!) I have Healthy Snacks to Go and love it!
And while I’m on the subject of Katie’s eBooks…and sort of while I’m on the subject of gas…
Katie recently released a brand new eBook called The Everything Beans Book.
I try to throw more beans into our diet as a way to save money and add nutrition…but I’m in a big need of help in this area. I grew up on meat and potatoes…not on beans.
This eBook will be a lifesaver. Not only does she share recipes and lots of beany tips…she also shares how you can eat beans and avoid gas. Rock on. :)

I won a copy of her healthy snacks to go and just love it. She kind of has a “good-better-best” system with her snacks which I think is awesome.

I love Katie’s Snacks e-book and the Larabars are the recipe I make most often (that and the granola) – super easy and more frugal than buying. My copy is all stained and crumpled – the mark of a well-loved cookbook :) The Beans book sounds like a winner as well.

I’m gonna have to buy the book. I was just coming on to tell you that we bought some Larabars at Costco this afternoon. I was praying that my Problem Feeders Aspergers son would like them, and he did! I’m thrilled to have something so healthy getting in him. I never would have tried them if you hadn’t mentioned them. Thanks!!

I love cooking with beans! I hope you like the book. We never get gas from beans but I follow the Nourishing traditions method of cooking – soak for a long time, rinse, and cook low and slow.
