Celebrating this week or not, there's hardly anyone who won't be gift giving to family, colleagues or even the cleaning lady. If you haven't gotten something together yet, or if you need to beef up a present you already purchased, there's nothing like homemade goodies.

White chocolate chip & PB granola bars
If you're solely a chocolate lover, you're not going to get this. Just be quiet and use chocolate chips.

The first time I saw the cart roll … Continue reading Tu B’Shevat granola bars
