Quinoa Carrot Breakfast Bars

Mornings in my house are crazy.  In the midst of potty training, getting the clothes for potty training at school and feeding my child, I'm shocked I remember all I need to get out of the house - Oh wait.  That didn't happen yesterday.  I left the house with the nap mat, the potty training clothes, my work computer and my lunch....what did I forget?  My PURSE!  Good thing 1.  I had a yummy green smoothie for breakfast and I packed myself a snack cake for later in the morning.  I'm a big fan of pick it up and run.  This breakfast bar has potential.  I am publishing the recipe as I found it from another blog.  My recommendation???  Split the flour 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white flour.  The rest of the ingredients are super healthy for you.  A little splurge can't hurt - right?  Anyway....I have a week worth of breakfasts to grab and go!
