Honey Mustard dressing

My son loves honey mustard dipping sauce (it's tragic when we run out). I forgot to buy some and had to search the fridge to throw something together for him. I didn't use a recipe or measure anything out thinking it would be the only time I would need to make it from scratch. Well, that was over a year ago and my son has asked me a dozen times since to make it again. So I searched several recipes on the web trying to find a recipe similar to the one I whipped up. This one is very close and it tastes really good.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip) 

2 Tbs yellow mustard

2 Tbs honey

1 Tbs lemon juice (or vinegar)

Mix it all together and enjoy. This can be used as a dip or dressing.

The first time I made this I only had Miracle Whip and that's what I used. It was way too sweet. So if that's all you have on hand than you may want to cut back on the honey. I have not tried it with vinegar yet but the recipe I found said you could use either lemon juice or vinegar. If you've tried this with Vinegar leave a comment and let me know how it tastes.

Granola Bars

1 cup oats

1/3 cup wheat germ

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup dried banana chips (chopped)

1/2 cup coconut flakes

1/3 cup grape nut cereal

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/3 cup honey

Blend all of the ingredients together than pour it out onto wax paper. Place another piece of wax paper on top and roll it out to desired thickness with a rolling pin. Place it on a cookie sheet and put it in the fridge for at least an hour (this step will make it easier to cut). Use a pizza cutter to cut them into bars and store them in the fridge.

Note: You can easily change this recipe. Try adding kraft jet-puffed mallow bits for a smores taste or add raisins instead of chocolate chips. If you want it more chewy and less crunchy than leave out the grape nut cereal and banana chips.
