Wow, really sweet the way it's written. Half way threw the batter I added another 1/2 cup of oats. Made a huge difference in cutting the sugar down. I also used almonds instead of pecans. Otherwise delicious.

Use a flexible baking spatula to mix, spread and flatten into the dish. No mess and no waste that way. The mixture got pretty brown around the edges at 350 so with about 10 minutes left I turned the heat down about 25 degrees. That solved it but maybe next time I will cook it at 325 for the 30 minutes. I got 18 good size bars out of the batch only and only trimmed one short end off that baked too much. My kids liked them. I was only relatively satisfied with the flavor and texture. But so far I haven't found a granola bar recipe that is perfect. But I'm making for the kids and if they like them then that's good enough for me.

Wonderful! I was really looking for a cheese sauce to pour over noodles for my kids. Since I happened to have a head of cauliflower it seemed a perfect thing to try. Mine was probably just a bit richer than the regular recipe since I have a 1/2 cup of heavy cream I needed to use up. Used the remaining cup with 2%. Other than that, it was easy and worked amazingly well on the noodle medley. That is, 3 kinds of leftover pastas accumulating in the frig. The littlest of kids devoured it. My oldest, the skeptic, only tried it when 'no dessert' was looming. She loved it too. I tried it over the cauliflower and it was awesome. I typically just steam veggie and add a little seasoning. But for a main dish meal this was a treat. Another first for me was cooking the whole head in water. I've always steamed it cut up in flourettes. But this worked really well and was kind of fun to slice up in wedges. This may be a cheese recipe to have on hand in the frig. Thanks!
