Name: Grape Nuts Bars
Ingredients: 3 c Grape Nuts cereal (homemade recipe below, not from Pinckney); 1 c Non-fat Soy Moo (or any low fat soy or rice milk); 1 c Unsweetened applesauce; 1 c Raisins; 2 ts Vanilla extract

What the church lacks today is not quantity but quality in her pulpits. A strong case can be made that we presently have too many men in pastoral ministry; too many who have taken the mantle of leadership upon themselves without having been selected and formed by God for that purpose. They preach, but not with power and often not with truth; they lead, but not from the platform of a life of godliness, holiness, and prayer; and slowly these men are changing the face of pastoral leadership. What once was a ministry of humble dependence upon God and his Word is more and more becoming a position of power and influence dependent upon marketing strategies, programming innovations, and an increasing infatuation with technology and culture. The image of a pastor as a servant-teacher is fast being replaced with that of a Chief Executive Officer whose knowledge of modern organizational theory and communication technique is more highly prized than his commitment to praying and preaching.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients together.
Pour into a non-stick 9" square baking dish. Bake for 35 minutes or until
firm. Cool and cut into squares. (best served cold, IMO .. see notes below)
Serves: 12
You can add other extracts or spices such as: 1/2 - 1 tsp. or combination
of: coconut, banana, almond extracts, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg,
allspice, ginger, clove, lemon and orange peel.
These freeze well and travel well!

my notes: I added almond and coconut extracts (1 t. each), lemon peel,
juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 T. coconut (I know, I know .. I wanted the flavors
of a *very* fattening cookie I love) .. still a little too soft in the
center at 35" .. 5-10 more... now cooling .. we'll see ;) ... they're okay
.. too mushy texture for me while warm (closer to grapenuts in milk, nuked
for a minute) .. may need sweetening for me.
aHA!!! Next morning, cooled in fridge, they are wonderful - and sweet
enough when cool..YAY! - for a cereal on the run type of thing or whenever
one might eat a granola bar, for example. They are softer in texture but
firm enough to remain in a compact bar you can hold. I cannot, however,
taste the extracts or lemon. May try more next time ... these I will make
again and again :). Thanks, Neal ....
