Have you ever had a homemade pop tart?
My boys love pop tarts.  I've been trying to find a good recipe for a healthier homemade version than the ones I can buy at the store.  When I buy them at the store, I always buy the plain (no icing) kind and try to find the mulit-grain or wheat ones...but even those have things listed as ingredients that I have no clue what they are!  Since my friend, Paula, has a cooking website, I challenged her to come up with a healthier pop tart for me.  She was up to the challenge!  Today she posted the recipe on her website, Salad in a Jar, for Homemade Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Oatmeal Pop-tarts.  (I borrowed this picture from her website)
Yesterday morning Paula left us a surprise on our doorstep.  It was a plate full of different kinds of homemade pop tarts!  They are delicious!  I can't wait to make a bunch of them for the boys (and for me too)!  Here's Brody biting into one of the Brown Sugar ones:

SCORE!  Paula scored big at our house!  Did I mention how nice it is to be "on the way to work" for one of the worlds best chefs?!?

nnow when your in a pinch and can't make them- you can buy organic poptarts at whole foods or kroger in the nature's market section and you will know all the ingredients!
That's great! I wish I was on the way to Paula's work!
To Ann, I wish you were too!!!! Then I could see you more often not to mention unload some treats.
Love the pictures of Brody. Sure was fun to figure out how to make healthier pop-tarts.
I saw those on Paula's blog and thought "YUMMY!" Now, I just need to figure out how to be on her "way to work"! :)
