peanut butter chocolate chip granola bars

hi friends!  growing up i was obsessed with nature valley peanut butter granola bars.  you know the ones? peanut buttery, flaky goodness.  so i set out to create a healthy, non-processed version.  and it took me four go-rounds to get a recipe i'm in love with.  but let me tell you, even the practice rounds were all scarfed down in a matter of days.  these are such a perfect snack to get you by until your next meal, i cannot tell you enough how much of a staple they've become in our house!  hope you love as much as i do.  xx- sarah {more after the jump}

roasted garlic hummus

i've been making hummus that i felt sort of meh about for a long time.  it was good, but for some reason never tasted as good as other people's hummus.  you know how that happens?  and then.... i decided to try roasting my garlic before i added it.  i know, this isn't revolutionary.  no one landed on the moon and it was only one giant step for ME, not mankind.  but STILL, i'm pretty excited.  so if you've been feeling meh about your own hummus, give this a shot.  and if you have other ideas for hummus i'd love to hear! (another hummus you might love)  more after the jump!
