Today I decided to tackle something in the kitchen that I have never taken on and always bought at the store...
Homemade Granola.
I spent some time flipping through my newest cookbooks - Discussed HERE. I am prepping for a veggie-lovin, meat-free week and basically giving my husband the recipes to cook (since he is the lucky one to get home in time to cook dinner!). As I started to flip through "How it all Vegan",
one of the first recipes that caught my eye was
"Rise N Shine Granola"
with the caption...
"Enjoy this healthy, crunchy granola for breakfast, or any meal of the day. Once you try this recipe, you'll never go store-bought again."
My husband is a lover of Costco Granola and is pretty picky about cereal and snacks of this kind... So, with a caption like that, I thought I would experiment and use my husband the granola expert as my judge!
After preparing and cooking this extremely easy recipe, I have to say, I TOTALLY AGREE with the description! This is yummy goodness! And so healthy... flax, almond, oats, sunflower seeds, cranberry, coconut, sesame seeds... Need I say more?
Oh, my yummy goodness! And that is just my opinion. My husband LOVED it!
See for yourself:
If the rest of the recipes in this book are as good as this... I may just go Vegan after all! On tap for tomorrow night - Stir Fry; Tuesday - Meatless Shepherd's Pie; Wednesday - Black Bean Burgers. We will see how it goes!

That looks yummy. We went through a period of making homemade granola. It was awesome because you could do it however you liked it. Lots of fruit some weeks. Lots of nuts the next. I think we need to start doing it again, especially as fall approaches. Your other meals sound great too. Keep it up.
