Triad Green Moms Munch Muesli

This is the first of many posts about "a little bit of everything".

We had a treat at our most recent Triad Moms Meet playdate. We got selected to sample Bob's Red Mill Muesli. I made a batch of chocolate chip muesli cookies, using this recipe. The only exception was I used white whole wheat flour. If you would like to try a low-fat version here is the recipe. The cookies were a hit for moms and kids alike. The package says you can serve the muesli warm like oatmeal, or cold with yogurt or milk. We even tried it plain(like granola), but most agreed that if we were to use it as granola we would toast it first. It was a beautiful(but soggy) day so the bigger kids got to play outside while the little ones enjoyed stories and toys inside. Triad Green Moms is a group of moms meet to talk about the latest on raising healthy families and living green, it is also a fun time for kids as we meet for playdates. In addition to the playdates, we get a chance to sample the latest healthy, green products(like the muesli, cool!).

What was left of the cookies.
Yum!
