Now for a little dessert. This was so easy and really delicious, and a fantastic excuse to get away from the studying.




Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
*1 Tbs molasses
3 1/2 Tbs sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups cornflakes
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips

*Ok, let's be honest, what student has molasses kicking around in their cupboards? I easily substituted it out for, yes, maple syrup. Instead of using a tablespoon of molasses, just use 2 tablespoons of syrup. It works just as well, and tastes the same (if not better).

Directions
Mix first 3 ingredients into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil on medium heat for about one minute. Take off the heat and add the peanut butter and salt. Gently mix in the cornflakes (unless you want them crushed, that works too). Spread flat in an 8x8 pan on wax paper, or just grease it really well. Melt the chocolate chips and spread on top. Throw it in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes so it can harden. Cut into bars and enjoy!

Time for the first post! This delicious recipe is as simple as it comes, and is quick. It takes about 5 minutes to prep (if your chicken is already thawed), making the whole thing take about 30 minutes tops.


Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 minced garlic cloves
4 Tbs brown sugar
4 tsp olive oil

Directions
Preheat your oven to 500 degrees, and lightly grease a glass dish
In a small pan, saute the garlic in the oil until tender
Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar
PLace chicken breasts in the prepared dish and cover with the garlic and brown sugar mixture.
Add salt and pepper to taste *optional
Bake uncovered 15-30 minutes



Personal side notes:
I thought the chicken could've used a little more brown sugar, so I added another tablespoon or two (I can't remember...). When I first made this, the garlic and sugar was drier than I thought it would be, so I just patted it on. The sugar melted into a glaze while it baked.

Optional sides are: mashed potatoes, french beans, Waldorf salad, garlic bread, pasta, or even a simple spread of fresh veggies.
