One of my favorite blogs is Liv Life. Kim posts the best recipes. I adore her Pumpkin Granola recipe and I was also taken with her recipe for Strawberry Oatmeal Jam Bars. She posted this last April and I have been making these beauties all summer.

The only changes I made to her recipe were:
(a) I used blackberry-thyme jam instead of strawberry.
(b) I swapped out half the butter and substituted coconut oil.
These are so good and they are perfect for a breakfast on the run.
I hope you check out her recipe here (and those stupendous flower photos)!
Sorry for the short and sweet (pun intended) post. Busy week. I am really focusing more on work and it is paying off. I have been getting to work early and staying late (most days) and trying to get everything done. I have made a conscious decision to start the day (and our students’ day) with a smile on my face. Remarkably, it has paid off. We have had a totally uneventful first two weeks of school.
My desk is even somewhat clean and organized and I hope this is a great start to an awesome school year.
And a big thank you to everyone from SRC Group C (and many others) who stopped by my last post. You see, I was an orphan this month and I was feeling neglected. Your comments always bring a smile to my face!
Thank you!
