Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Spoon onto sheet pan which is covered with a silicone mat or greased parchment paper.
- Cover the mixture with a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Even out the mixture to about 1/8 inch. I find a straight edge, like a ruler, works well, though you can use a rolling pin or wine bottle too. The important thing is not to let it be too thin around the edges or that part will overcook before the center firms up. So after you spread it out, go around the edges with your finger and push the thin part inwards to even it up.
- Bake until the center is no longer soft, about 15-18 minutes. If it starts to get more than a little brown around the edges, remove from oven. Let cool completely - it will continue to crisp up.
- Break into pieces.

HEALTHY APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL BARS
My version of a very healthy high protein, low sugar, high fiber snack/energy bar. Only good carbs and a low glycemic index. This bar is very tasty and filling! I also want to stress that this is a LOW sugar item. If you are looking for something that is very sweet, like my first reviewer, you may want to add more sugar or splenda. This is personal preference as I do not like things too sweet.

Steps:
- Take two dried apricots and cut the first one in half. Cut the second apricot into thirds. You only need half of the second apricot to complete one fish, but you'll probably be making a few so you won't need to throw it away.
- Heat the white chocolate in the microwave until it was melted.
- Recommend to microwave it for 10 seconds at a time so you don't burn the chocolate.
- Dip the edge of the first apricot piece into the white chocolate. Place the dipped piece on your work surface and push the second apricot piece firmly against it.
- Dip the cut edge of the third piece and press it to the second piece.
- Dip the rounded edge of the fourth piece into the white chocolate and attach it to make the fish's tail.
- Dip a small currant into the white chocolate and stick it onto your apricot fish to create the eye.
- Leave the chocolate to set; you can speed the process up by putting your fish in the fridge.

ROASTED SOY NUTS
A great high fiber, high protein snack. I can munch on these all day! They are also great on a salad to give some extra crunch. Preparation time does not include the soaking of the beans.

Steps:
- Soak beans in water 8-12 hours. Be sure to use enough water, as the beans will expand to about 3 cups.
- Rinse the beans and blot lightly with paper towel. They don't need to be dry, just not dripping wet with water.
- Sprinkle olive oil over the beans and toss lightly to coat. I do this right in the colander that I used to drain the beans.
- Sprinkle salt and cajun spice over the beans and continue to toss until coated.
- Spread the beans on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake at 350F, stirring after 15 minutes. Stir beans and return to oven, baking and stirring every 5 minutes until soybeans are golden brown and crunchy. The amount of time to attain crunchy soy nuts will depend on the moisture of the soaked beans. It usually takes mine a total of 25-45 minutes. That's a big range, I know, but every batch is different is all I can say! Watch them carefully toward the end to make sure that they don't burn. Conversely, you definitely don't want to under-roast them either, or they will have a chewy consistency. They should be nicely browned, like in my picture.
- Cool the beans and enjoy!
