I was reading the newest issue of Food Network Magazine (May 2010) and came across a great article “Take A Hike!” on page 141. It is a feature of 6 National Parks, with a recipe from a ranger from each park. I’d say the Peanut-Raisin Granola Bars from the Grand Teton ranger, Jackie, look quite [...]
