Granola

Granola Granola Granola!

The holidays are fast approaching and if you’re not feeling a bit anxious can you let me in on your secret?! In fact, for the first time in my life I’m contemplating decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving! Our daughter will be home Thanksgiving week from college and we’ve got a lot of shopping to do with weddings bells in the air. Plus, giving the kids something healthy to take back with them always makes a mom feel better. Some friends of ours from the west coast were visiting a few weeks ago and brought us this hostess gift. Of course it didn’t last long. Well thanks to Sheri and Jim I have a new found love for granola! And I believe you will too! Click here for the full recipe.

Yesterday I had a weak moment, not only did the house smell wonderful, it tasted great! For the full recipe, click here
