Well, actually a few things happen. See first, first you get a weird look. The look that says like “why on earth is she taking pictures of the food? And why is she strategically placing it on the floor?”. Then you get the questions: “Um are you doing a project or something?”. Then comes the “oh, that’s cool.” And then? Then they want to eat your food. Like consume it, inhale it. I swear, I do not know why it is, but I swear the food I make for the blog gets eaten. Fast. I try and take picture as fast as possible (which is not fast at all. READ: World’s slowest food (wanna be) stylist/photographer) because if I don’t the food will be gone. Literally I am shooing people, hands out of my pictures! I am pretty sure three fourths of these bars were eaten well I was still taking pictures of the other fourth. I guess this is good. I mean it is safe to say these bar’s are good.
So since it is Sunday and we all want to be lazy today I made you a snack. A lazy healthy, yummy snack. Or breakfast. You can decide. For the base of the bars I used granola (I think I have like 5 pounds leftover from the holiday’s) and quinoa. I think I am kind of in love with quinoa since I made that mediterranean salad the other day. I mean, the salad is goood! And it is a salad. And it is healthy. So yeah, I have grown pretty fond of quinoa over the last couple of days. It is hearty, it is full of protein and vitamins, it is quick and easy to cook and it is delicious. How could I not be drooling over my new ingredient.
There is one important thing you have to know about these bars. You have to let the bars chill out in the fridge. You have to! Other wise they will crumble. Although they are pretty good crumbled……
Especially crumbling them atop milk and when eaten with a spoon. Oh! Or maybe coconut milk. Yum!
