Skylar and I will be spending five months (May - October) in Heilbronn, Germany with as much additional travel as we can. Here I will post updates and pictures from our adventures.

29 Juli - Skylar's last day of school

Skylar was thrilled! I have never seen him dislike school so much. I'm glad it's over too because I was not sure how to make it any more enjoyable for him. Maybe after some time, he would have adjusted to the language barrier and gotten to like it more, but it seems that would have taken more time than we have here. I am not sure if I am going to send him back in September. I'll just continue doing work from his school books that he brought with him to make sure he stays up to speed with his classmates.

I made my super healthy chewy bars today: I mixed 200g of bread mix grain flour, wheat germ, and whole oats, 75g of quinoa and ground hazelnuts, and added some cinnamon and nutmeg. Then mixed together 100g of unsweetened applesauce, marzipan, and soy oil with a few teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mixed the wet with dry and added some chocolate flakes. Pressed them into a pan lined with parchment paper and baked until brown around the edges. Yummy! They turned out perfect. The marzipan made them a little less sweet and sticky.

those bars sound really good! I'd love to try and make them. Do you have the recipe available in US measurments?
