Homemade granola tastes good and it’s good for you. Chock-full of nutritious goodies, probably the best thing about making granola at home is that you can pretty much tailor it to suit yourself. Granola with skim or almond milk makes a terrific and healthy breakfast. Or you can just eat a handful for a guilt-free snack.

So creamy and delicious you many never buy them in packages again.
I first made these between Thanksgiving and Christmas last year. Friends and family kept asking me when I was going to make more. Then of course I got the obligatory request for the recipe. This is the recipe I used, and having made several batches I can report it never failed. You can whip up a batch fairly quickly. For best results use a candy thermometer whenever making candy.

One of my favorite foods (among dozens) of Grandma’s was her cornbread. Not too moist, not too sweet, just always perfect enough to eat by itself (though I usually slathered her home-churned butter on it, soft from sitting out on the table). Continue reading “Grandma’s Cornbread”
I almost never tell someone that chocolate is my weakness that they don’t agree. Frankly, I have always been suspicious of anyone proclaiming they don’t like chocolate–and I just don’t trust them. It’s not normal, people!
 Recently I made this amazing chocolate torte, and then somehow promptly lost the recipe. I know it had Baker’s Chocolate, English walnuts, eggs, and other goodies in it. Trust me, it was tasty to my face and I would share the recipe if I still had it. |
