	Lazy Granola by Beki Lazy GranolaMix the honey, oil and vanilla in a small saucepan until they are all melted. (I always forget this step and it turns out fine.) In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients. Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir until combined. Spread out on a greased 9×12 pan and cook for 10 min at 375 degrees.

	Apricot Almond Butter Oatmeal by Beki PagesI have been mostly gone for the last two years because I am a grad student (although I have been since I started this blog) and moved into a house of 100 students. I say house because we are all responsible for making sure the house runs smoothly - cooking, cleaning, discipline, all of it! For the first year, I was just any other…	1 vote 558 views
	Crockpot Chicken by Beki I don't eat very much meat because I care too much about where it comes from. No matter what kind of chicken you're buying, a whole chicken costs about half as much per pound as the boneless, skinless breasts that have become standard fare for most of us. But whole chickens scare me. Or used to. I decided to take the plunge and just…	1 vote 316 views
	Fresh Chicken Stock (in the crock-pot) by Beki When I made the successful chicken in the crock-pot the other day, I had seen someone recommend throwing the bones, etc. back into the pot to make fresh broth or stock or whatever you like to call it. I figured this was a cool chance and not to be missed. So, after I ate dinner, I pulled all of the meat off of the chicken carcass (as…	1 vote 264 views
	Almond Cookie Oatmeal (with Dates) by Beki It's kind of funny, I had never actually had a date until I went to Tunisia. I mean, I had eaten the nasty flour-coated mouse turds in cereal that they claim are dates. (Sorry if I just stopped you from ever touching those again. Sort of.) But Tunisia exports a lot of dates, and people eat them often, and I'm willing to try anything.…	1 vote 271 views
	Mozzerella Cheese Sticks by Beki I LOVE Pinterest. I could lose whole afternoons on it. Food, clothes, crafts, party ideas, you're wandering around and it's all there with enticing pictures to boot.I have a whole board full of food ideas. Very few are quick or healthy but this recipe that I found and the girls begged me to make fits the categories.The idea came from…	1 vote 624 views
	Brisket-y pot roast by Beki I realized that I don't post much, but most of the things that I make are from other food bloggers. So I decided that the right thing to do is to let you know how these are from my point of view! I completely respect the bloggers whose recipes I use, but sometimes we have different goals. And sometimes I change things just because I…	1 vote 671 views
	Green smoothies! by Beki PagesI started making smoothies using a commercial-quality blender, so I took much too long to pick a blender now that I won't have access to that one. Everybody has critiques on the working of all blenders that cost under $100, and maybe it is smarter to get one of those, but I still can't bring myself to do it. I ended up with a…	1 vote 271 views
