I was thinking of taking a basic Mudslide recipe and making some changes. No need to make it be disgusting just becuase the "real" mudder's milk is supposed to be yucky!

The literal approach is to get some oats, old fashioned, and some Fruit Loops. Crush loops according to color, add some oats,and cook to make crispy. Much easier to color coordinate this way, and safe to eat raw.

May not be smart, and it may not please you, but you're definitely gonna see what I have to say.

Mallory -you seem to be a good cook...get yourself over to the recipe thread. We have no vegan recipes as of yet and it'd be great to see some in there!
Hey if you'd like the less healthy version- off the recipe thread which you can find here
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=23626
it's basically our version of a browncoat recipe book ( not really show related, but hey whatever)
In response to the request for the fruit oatie bars
Cookie:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla or maple extract
1/2 teaspoon butter-flavored extract
Filling:
1 1/2 cups peach preserves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting, optional
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
For the cookie: In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and cinnamon. In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar. Beat in egg whites, vanilla and butter flavor extracts. Carefully fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula. Wrap dough in plastic and chill until dough is firm, about 30 minutes in freezer.
For the peach filling: In a medium mixing bowl, mix peach preserves with cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest and lemon extract. When dough has chilled, roll out dough 1/4-inch thick and cut into pieces about 2 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches long. Place a teaspoon of peach filling in the center of each piece and fold each end of the dough to the center to cover the filling. Flatten cookies slightly and place them seam down and 1-inch apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes, until lightly browned and just firm. Cool on the cookie sheet. Dust cookies with a mixture of powdered sugar and cinnamon, if using.

Not my recipe. I shamelessly copied this from fireflywiki.
Wife soup.
Get:
3 or 4 (or more) big potatoes. Peel if you like.
some carrots
as many whole garlic cloves as you like
a pound or so of beef or chicken, ground or otherwise
two cans of broth (beef or chicken)
a couple bay leaves
half a bag or so of frozen peas
about 1/2 c. of elbow macaroni
monterey jack cheese
crackers
Do:
Cut up the potatoes and carrots into little pieces. Cover them with water, add salt and boil them til they're good and tender.
Drain off about 3/4 of the boiling water.
Return to heat and add the broth.
Once it's all simmering, crumble in the meat and bring up to a healthy simmer.
Cut the garlic cloves in half and drop them in there.
Drop in the bay leaves.
Sprinkle on pepper.
Be generous.
Let this cook for awhile. Couple hours, whatever you got. Stir it every once in a while. (Crockpots might be good for this.)
Eventually add the macaroni. Don't put too much in right away. You can always add more later.
About half an hour before you want to eat, dump in the peas.
This should come out pretty thick. If it's too thick, add some water and bring back to a simmer. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't scorch.
Serve:
In a deep bowl.
Add shredded cheese to taste.
Add crackers if you like.
Give:
Friends and family a kiss on the cheek and tell them they done good.
