Betty’s Healthy and Natural Granola Bars Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Healthy and Natural Granola Bars. These granola bars have oats, nuts, brown sugar, honey, melted butter, and a sprinkling of salt--all natural ingredients--no additives that you find in commercial cereal bars. Betty also gives her philosophy of eating healthy foods. Ingredients: 4 cups quick or old fashioned oats, uncooked 1 cup chopped nuts (I used 1/3 cup sliced almonds, 1/3 cup chopped pecans, and 1/3 cup English walnuts.) 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 2/3 cup butter or margarine, melted 1/3 cup light corn syrup (You may use honey.) 1/2 teaspoon salt cooking oil spray Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and mix well. Press into a 15 1/4-inch by 10 1/2-inch jelly roll pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. (Mixture will be brown and bubbly. I cooked my granola bars 10 minutes in this demonstration, but they were a little over-brown; 8 minutes would have been better.) Cool. Cut into bars and serve on a serving plate or store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks. They stay fresh for a very long time! These granola bars contain *only* healthy ingredients and are a great choice over a candy bar, which generally has no nutritional value! They taste great, also! I hope you get a chance to try them!!! --Betty :)

A Delicious Way to Prepare Avocados

Vegetables have plenty of vitamins, nutrients and should be a primary part of your diet along with fruits and meats. Avocados are a very healthy and nutritious fruit. Avocado cholesterol diet is beneficial for lowering cholesterol, despite of avocado fat content and carbohydrate. The reason is that avocado is a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. The avocado fat is a type of fat that may actually help to raise levels of HDL "good"cholesterol" which actually protects arteries, while lowering levels of LDL "bad" cholesterol". I have come up with my own recipe that you can use as an appetizer to your main meal and works well at parties. No it is not Guacamole, it is something much different. Just some facts about Olive oil which I also add to the broth in preparation of this dish. All types of olive oil contain monounsaturated fat, but "extra-virgin" or "virgin" olive oils are the least processed forms, so they're the most heart healthy. Those types contain the highest levels of polyphenols, a powerful antioxidant that also can promote heart health. For this tasty dish you will need: 1 Avacodo 1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1/2 Cup of vegetable broth (homemade is preferred) 1/2 Cup of milk (non fat is preferred) 2 heaping tablespoons of non fat plain unsweetened yogurt 1/4 Teaspoon of garlic powder 1/4 Teaspoon of onion powder Touch of Fresh ginger and ginger powder Black ground pepper to taste (topping) Cayenne pepper to taste ...
