Cranberry Almond Granola

I love Granola!

I think I have been on a huge granola kick here lately. I feel like I need to have it on hand at all times! I am not quite sure why, though. My only thing is which one to make? I am always playing around with my rolled oats and nuts. this week dried cranberries got involved and they made an amazing cranberry almond granola!

Today’s weather, although is cloudy, it is warm! I can smell and feel that spring is here by my stuffy nose and watery eyes, however, an allergy pill can fix that. I love spring. I lived in Florida the 18 years of my life and any weather that has the sun shining I am a huge fan of. With the sunshine coming out and warmer weather means that I want to spend the day outside and granola is the best thing to have on hand as a simple snack! …

Happy Hump Day!

How has the first part of the week been for you? It has been a wild ride this week with the store, home and the weather! it has been a rather wet and nasty past few days here in North Carolina and I keep on telling myself that we need it but with this new storm coming on in I am not sure that is the case anymore! I want to see the sun and all the fall colors!

Anyways, I remember when I was younger (as recently as summer 2014) I used to make ginger snaps with my grandma. Ginger snaps are probably my most favorite cookie in the world! The spiciness of the ginger, clove and cinnamon mixed with a sweetness of sugar and molasses is the perfect thing to snack on! I would have to be careful to not eat too many because I could probably easily eat a whole batch of them and not think twice about it. In fact, those cookies are what I give away the most of at Christmas and they are a huge hit! …
