    These babies have oatmeal in ’em. I’m pretty sure that means they are healthy – but I know for a fact it means they are so good!

    The vanilla and brown sugar give a bit of a sweetness that makes them perfect for dessert, after-school snacks or breakfast on the go.

    • You will want the dough approx 1/4″ thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into your desired shape, or simply cut into traditional rectangles.
    • Place on a wax covered or baking mat lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-13 minutes. * Note * you can decrease the baking time by a minute or 2 for softer, chewier, more cookie-like bars.
    • Cool and serve – with gobs of Peanut Butter obvs.

    Tuna-Cuc Sandwich

    Ingredients
      

    • Tuna
    • Cucumbers

    Instructions
     

    • Clean, peel (if you prefer) and slice your cucumbers.
      Drain your tuna. You can either use as is straight from the packaging or can, or season your tuna as you normally would. My family prefers a bit of Miracle Whip, mustard, salt and pepper in our tuna.
      Spoon your tuna mix onto a cucumber slice, top with another cucumber slice and stick an Hors d’oeuvre stick through your “sandwich”. I’m not sure if this last step is truly necessary, but man oh man, does it make them so stinkin’ cute to look at with pretty flags of washi tape attached!
