Jenny commented on my previous blog asking what I made for the Potluck. Well, here it is.

I made some Crispy Oatmeal Bars for the Caring Place Community Kitchen potluck. We’ve got very short notice on the potluck, just the day before the potluck. I had to look for a recipe which I can make without going out for last minute shopping and I found this Crispy Oatmeal Bars where I had all the ingredients on hand.

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup shortening (or margarine or butter)
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup flour
• 1 1/2 cups quick oatmeal (not instant)
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts or raisins or other dried fruit or chocolate chips
