On our way to a completely real traditional food diet, I’ve been swapping out processed foods with homemade versions. We first started with bread and I’m thrilled to share this recipe for homemade granola bars with you.
I got this recipe from my mother and made a few small tweaks to make it healthier. It’s quick to make and oh so yummy. 
Pioneering Today Healthy Chunky Granola Bars
5 cups rolled oats (regular, not quick)
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Mix together dry ingredients. Drizzle liquids on top of oats and mix until the oats are covered and moist. With a large spatula, press granola firmly into a 17×11 pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Let cool 1 hour before cutting and removing from pan.
Don’t use another size pan. The ingredients are carefully measured and altering pan size will alter how these turn out. Be sure to press very firmly on the granola mixture, it should be really flat.

I’ve had soap making on my mind for several years and after reading Making Hand Milled Soap for Fun and Profit by Susan Godfrey, I’m going to go for it. The one homesteading project we failed miserably at was chickens, but The Urban Chicken by Heather Harris has me ready to give it another go, and to keep the coyotes at bay I’ll need to further read Livestock Guardian Animals, by Marie at Rural Living Today. We don’t have goats, but I’ve considered them as an alternative to a milk cow and if we do so, Drawing Blood from Your Goats by Starlene Stewart will save me on vet bill costs and help me keep a healthy herd.
