A Recipe for Homemade Granola Bars

So, once again, necessity was the mother, and — after a bit of experimentation — I invented what I feel is an unbeatable recipe for homemade granola bars. While I consider the following list of ingredients to be the core of the recipe, you can change things around a bit to suit your family’s tastes and preferences. In fact, in a moment I’ll offer some suggestions for doing just that.
