Bacon and Oatmeal? What was she thinking? How about AMAZING.

My Great Grandmother had a small “drippings can” next to her stove. She saved all her bacon drippings and when she cooked up eggs or pancakes in the morning you could smell the smoky flavor wafting through the small house.

Yummo.

I know that times were hard and she often talked about what they did to survive through the depression such as saving every scrap of fabric for small quilts, re-purposing flour sack material, and “putting up” produce from their gardens.

She never threw out anything, including the ball of aluminum foil she kept in case her berry cobbler needed covering!

Bacon drippings were something that she used in her cooking. I am not sure if she ever made cookies with it, but if she had thought of it, I am sure that little gal from the Ozarks would have given it a try.

With as much as my kids go Hog Wild for bacon, I am going to have to try this recipe out for myself!

This is what Adrianna of A Cozy Kitchen has to say about these very old fashioned cookies.

These Depression-Era Oatmeal Cookies are made with bacon drippings rather than butter. And then I added some chocolate chips and bacon…’cause why not?

Quick Tip: Making bacon for breakfast? Toss in a few extra strips and save it for later so you don’t have to get another pan out!

Color of the day is BLUE! As in.. bring on the BLUEBERRIES!

While there may not be a substitute for sitting down to a well-balanced breakfast before heading out the door, it is nice to know that leaving hungry isn’t your families only option.

These breakfast bars are loaded fruit and oats. The flavor is something that you are not going to find wrapped up in a foil packet of commercial breakfast bars. This is the real deal people.
I have a teen who plays football, and those early morning practices can be brutal, so making sure he is fueled up and ready to hit the turf is a big job.

These loaded with fruit bars are great because I know what is in them, plus, I have the option to add some peanut butter powder to increase the protein without adding a bunch of hidden calories. Seriously, if you have never tried adding peanut butter powder to smoothies or cookies it is pretty easy to do and it located in grocery stores next to peanut butter.

If you add a hardboiled egg and a glass of milk, you are really ready to take the world by storm.

This is what Erin of Delightful E Made has to say about her recipe.

Loaded with juicy, ripe blueberries and topped with a brown sugar-oatmeal crumble these Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are a delicious way to have breakfast on the run.  Bake up a batch and enjoy fresh out of the pan, or wrap up and store in the freezer for a grab-and-go breakfast.

Quick Tip: Bake up TWO batches and freeze one for later. Who wants to bake all the time!
