I’m not sure why I don’t make these Apricot Breakfast Bars more often.
This time, I added a few mini chocolate chips just for fun!

Lilla Rose has a new product! They’re called You -Pins – you can see how they work by watching this video. Gorgeous!
Sloppy joes is on our list as well. We got to cut our menu out next week because we are going home next week! My husband is active duty military so we don’t live around them and he has two weeks off!
Hey Laura, your menu looks yummy!
Couple questions regarding some of your foods/recipes. I saw that you say “frozen” beef for your Italian roast wraps…. why frozen? As opposed to fresh.
Also, the salmon patties look yummy! But you said there are bones in them and I have 3 little ones (1, 3, and 5) so I don’t trust them with the bones but want to try this. Is is easy to find the bones and take them out? Also, can I bake these instead of pan fry? And when you do pan fry, what oil do you pan fry them in? I have canola here but I don’t pan fry very often.
thanks
You can use a fresh roast – I just always have frozen roasts and that particular recipe works great to just throw a frozen roast in to cook. SO EASY!! If you use a fresh roast, you’ll want to cut the cook time down an hour or two.
You can pick out most of the bones from a can of salmon – I sometimes try to get the biggest ones out. Once they’re cooked, I’ve never come across a bone – they kind of dissolve into the meat while being cooked. But yeah, try to pick out some of the bigger ones…it does make it easier.
I have never tried to bake them, but I would imagine it would work. I use palm shortening or coconut oil when I pan fry.
i just wanted to concur with laura on the bones in the salmon. I always pick out my back bones (the big round ones) and leave the others. The only time i’ve come across a bone is if i miss a back bone, and those add a little bit of crunch but i don’t think they’d be a problems with the littles. i have fed them to mine when they were that age.
I have been making the Apricot Breakfast Bars a couple of times a week and my family LOVES them. I am to lazy to cut up the apricots most of the time so I use raisins or dried cranberries instead. YUMMY!~
Thanks for sharing the Apricot Breakfast Bars recipe. I hadn’t seen this one before and plan to try it. That seems like a fair amount of butter, but maybe spread over that number of bars it isn’t so bad.
Salmon Patties! Awesome. I had no idea what to do w/ the 2 cans of salmon I purchased a few weeks ago. Looks like we’ll be having that for lunch next Saturday. Thanks again for yet another great menu idea!
i bookmarked the apricot bars
can they be made with regular flour instead of wheat?
I would love if you stopped by my blog and checked out my Menu Plan
Have a great week
From Cristin To Mommy
Yes, you can use white flour instead of wheat. It should work fine.
