Yummy Banana Oat Bars and a succulent garden

H

Here's a recipe for a sweet snack that's actually healthy and about 2 Weight Watcher Points (correction: 4.5) as far as I can figure.  It probably would be lower than that, if I had used unsweetened coconut and regular raisins without added sugar.  It's from the book Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman, MD.

Yummy Banana Oat Bars
 (makes 8)

2 C quick cooking rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 C shredded coconut (I used sweetened as that's what I had)
1/2 C raisins or chopped dates (I used Craisins, again as that's what I had)
1/4 C chopped walnuts
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 C unsweetened apple sauce (optional--I included it as I had it)
1 Tablespoon date sugar (of course I did not include this--who has date sugar lying around?)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all ingredients in large bowl until well combined (I used a hand mixer).  Press into 9x9 baking pan, sprayed with release agent, and bake 30 minutes.  When cool, cut into 8 bars.

The applesauce and date sugar create sweeter, moister bars.

Toby doesn't like them, of course, but he has to check out everything I eat.

And for you succulent farmers, here's a garden that I photographed in a model home at my clients' new subdivision out in Lake Elsinore:

This is an "outdoor room" (covered patio)

I think the plantings are kind of weak but I like the idea.
