Loaded Granola: Cherries, Chocolate, Coconut + Nuts
Saturday, I decided to whip up some granola. We hadn’t had any in a while and I was cravings some. I ignored my typical recipe, threw together some of my favorite ingredients, and was more than thrilled with the results. Sadly, we finished about half already – trust me, it’s addictive. Typically, we eat this with a bit of homemade yogurt but since we didn’t have any on hand, we’ve been chowing it down by the handfuls. And with strawberries and a little ice cream last night – seriously amazing.
Side note – I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but the website has gotten another tweak, as promised earlier. We’ve put drop-down boxes on each of the topics at the top of the page so be sure to check them out! Hopefully this will make it easier to navigate recipes and fashion posts. A huge thanks to the hubs for helping me out with this!
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!
