I’m working on the power bars tonight and–hopefully–I’ll be able to post the recipe soon. It’ll contain coconut and almond flours in addition to nutbutter and some other goodies.

As for water kefir, I’ve always used water kefir grains and should have a bunch ready to go again pretty soon. I’ve heard of converting milk kefir grains, but haven’t tried it at all.

That baked oatmeal looks amazing! My little guy eats oatmeal every morning for breakfast; even when I try to make something else, something “special” (like pancakes or scrambled eggs) he always tries to hold out for his oatmeal. He doesn’t seem to like the consistency of scrambled eggs, so this will be perfect! He’ll get to still eat his oatmeal for breakfast, with the addition of some pasture-fed eggs unbeknownst to him! Thank you for sharing your MPM and your recipes!

Best,
Sarah

PS – Ditto on the power bar recipe request! Though I’m thinking about making some “granola” bars out of the baked oatmeal (which my little guy also seems to love). Cook it once, then turn it out and cut it into squares or rectangles and, if needed, bake slightly once more (like biscotti) or lightly air dry the pieces before keeping them in a sealed container. What do you think, have you ever made it that way?

PPS – One more question for you . . . now that I notice that you are making water kefir this week. I’ve been thinking about making up a batch but all I can find are milk kefir grains at our local co-op. I read somewhere about converting them to water kefir through a series of rinsings?? Have you ever done this or do you have any suggestions? Can I make it with the milk kefir grains? I appreciate your help!

Looks good. I recently started eating the NT way. It is a learning process but one that I am loving. I am glad I found your blog and will definately get some ideas for my family.

Hi Jenny,
I still continue to enjoy your blog, I marvel at how you have the time and endurance to create all these handcrafted foods. I am wonder what your version of power bars are and if you have a recipe. They intrigued me!! Thanks!
