Fabulous Granola Bars

3 cups old fashioned oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1 1/2 cups assorted nuts, chopped
1 cup dried fruit, chopped
1 can condensed milk

Combine all, pour and press into parchment paper lined 9 by 13 pan.
Let parchment hang over pan slightly to make handles.
Bake 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes. Cool and cut.
Makes approximately 20 bars.
Try not to eat the whole thing in one sitting.

In an attempt to be healthier, I make these granola bars every week. I find that having
one mid-morning helps me make it to lunchtime without grazing through chocolate, cookies
or candy.

During the week,Bryan and I have been attempting to go vegetarian while Steve is away at school.
On weekends, when Steve is home,he likes to cook what he feels like. And who am I to say no? I am no fool.
He is a great cook!! As it turns out though, the tables are turned. Steve goes vegetarian during the week not by choice but by what he has in his apartment fridge. We, on the other hand are not. I will try harder next week.
