The Back-to-School Blog Tour & Giveaways! *CLOSED*



Welcome to the The Halton Mom! If you enjoy meal plans, recipes, reviews, and giveways you’ve come to the right place. I want to welcome you to the Back-to-School Blog Tour sponsored by Living My MoMent and The Work at Home Woman.

When I became a part of this tour I started thinking about what my contribution could be and I think I’ve found it. How many of you struggle with after school snacks that are frugal and healthy? I know me too, I’m not too happy about passing out Fruit Roll-Ups or Gummy Bears. My kids love granola and during my quest for the perfect after school snack I found this great recipe!

Sunny Honey Granola 

  •  2 Cups Rolled Oats 
  • ½ Cup Slivered Almonds 
  • ½ Cup Sunflower Seeds 
  • ½ Cup Coconut 
  • ½ Cup Honey 
  • ½ Cup Oil 
  • ¼ cup Raisins, (or Semi Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips) 
  • Non-Stick Vegetable Spray  
Preheat oven 300 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Stir honey and oil in a separate bowl and then combine with oat mixture.
Spread out on a sprayed baking sheet and bake 300 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden.
Pour into a clean bowl and stir in raisins.
Enjoy! Big kids love this as much as the little ones! I had to hide this from my husband and my older nephew came by and told me to give the recipe to his Moma. Totally a keeper!
Now that you have a great snack for after school lets enter some giveaways. The Back-to-School Book Tour will run from September 6th-10th.

Weekly Meal Plan

I don’t know about you but I adored this Labor Day weekend the weather here was more like the first day of Fall. We enjoyed burgers, dogs, tater salad, pea salad, baked beans, chips, and my favorite homemade banana ice cream! We enjoyed all this yummy food with my husband’s family and had a really great time despite Hallie being sick all last week. I went home smiling from ear to ear it was a perfect weekend. I hope you were just as blessed. With the weather turning cooler and cooler I’ve started looking into Fall favorites for this meal plan.
