Crudites are traditional French appetizers consisting of sliced or whole raw vegetables which are typically dipped in sauces or dressings. I like to play with my food so sometimes the trays look pretty traditional...
And sometimes I get fancy...

I get bored with the normal onion dip for veggie trays. This dip is wonderful with veggies and with pita wedges.

Sometimes homemade is just BETTER! These are soft and chewy and can be made with whatever special ingredients you want.

Mangoes are in season and are very inexpensive right now and I've heard from a few people and I've eavesdropped in the produce aisle enough to know that people are scared of mangoes. They don't know how to cut into them and then there is the stone in the center which really throws people off. Here is my handy picture display of how to prepare a mango. Please know that every time I flip the mango to display the cute little cubes I say "ta daaaa" which makes me laugh and Matt shake his head at me (he says it's in love but I know he's laughing a little too!) But you can feel like a magician too when you've mastered the art of flipping a mango!

I got tired of paying $10 a box for energy bars so I decided to make my own. Later I priced how much it costs to make them from scratch, and I only ended up saving 50 cents. They're just as tasty and I can edit the recipe as I please, so in the end its worth it.
Makes 8 large bars or 16 small square-shaped bars
