Homemade Oatmeal Fudge Bars!

If this doesn't make you drool I'm not sure what will!

As much as I strive to be a healthy eater, and as hard as I try to maintain it, I do have my binge moments. Lately, I've wanted nothing more than some ooey-gooey sweetness that my cupboard full of sour cream and onion crackers and chip-wannabes could never come close to satisfying. I'm talking soft and chewy, melt-in-your-mouth, chocolatey goodness.

Thanks to Pinterest (follow me) and a blog by the name of 'One More Moore', I found a recipe for what I consider to be homemade Starbucks Oatmeal Fudge Bars. So, on a pretty mellow Saturday night, my hubby and I brought Starbucks home - he prepped the skinny vanilla's and I prepped the fudge bars.

Clean that Fruit!

So recently I re-pinned a fruit/veggie cleaning technique on Pinterest (follow me! Food Diva). It involved filling a sink with water, adding a cup of vinegar and allowing the fruit/veggies to soak for 10 minutes. After returning from the grocery store yesterday I decided to give it a whirl.

Guess what? It works!! And it works great! I used a large bowl and approximately a 1/4 cup of vinegar. I emptied the water/vinegar concoction after 10 or so minutes, gave the fruit another rinse under the tap, drained it again and presto! Ready to eat, delicious wax-free, dirt-free fruit with no effort.

You're welcome!
