Sizzlin' Steak Marinade

I've been using this marinade from Six Sisters Stuff for a while now - it is easy to throw together and packs great flavor.  I love to make the whole batch and divide it up among ziplock bags with fresh steaks and toss it in the freezer for a quick future meal prep.

White Chocolate Strawberry Granola Bars

Granola bars have become on of our family favorite go to snacks.  These AMAZING ones were adapted from this recipe (another favorite).  These are not your typical crunchy granola bars.  These bake up almost more like a cookie; soft and chewy.
  You could use any combination of dried or freeze dried fruit, but I especially love this with the strawberries and/or raspberries.
