Healthy Road-Trip Snacks

Fruit Sheets

Ingredients:

4 cups (approximately) berries, peaches, plums or any other fruit that has a lot of body
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
salt to taste

Preparation:

Put ingredients in food processor and puree as desired. It doesn't have to be completely lump free. Pour a thin layer onto a nonstick cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake in oven at 150 degrees for about six hours. Let cool, peel off the sheet, cut into small pieces and roll them up.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1-1/2 Tbs. honey
1-1/2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla

Preparation:

Combine oil, honey and sugar in pan until it bubbles up a little bit and the oil is fully incorporated. Remove from heat and add the oatmeal and vanilla (do not use extract). Fold together, spread evenly on cookie sheet and bake in oven at 325 for about 15 minutes or until lightly toasted. Add dried fruits, nuts or whatever else you prefer.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
2 whole eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup granola
2/3 cups slice, toasted almonds

Preparation:

Cream butter and brown sugar until nice and fluffy--sort of the consistency of frosting. Add the honey, eggs and extract. Stir together thoroughly and set aside. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients, then pour into the bowl containing the other ingredients. Combine well.
