  • Nutty Cherry Granola

    Final

    Fair warning: I LOVE granola. If a shop or bakery sells granola I have never tried before, I will almost always purchase it in hopes of falling in love a little.

    As for the granola I make at home, I never really stick to one recipe. I frequently like to tweak it a little to see what would happen. Leili is usually my guinea pig but I don’t think she minds.

    Dry Mis

    This particular recipe is special because I used dried cherries instead of cranberries. It’s not groundbreaking but it is absolutely scrumptious. Now, this is my favorite thing about making granola – the smell that rolls out from the oven is divine. The combination of brown sugar and oats is irresistible. I like to have my granola with milk and fruit but you can obviously enjoy yours with yogurt as well.

    Start your day healthily and deliciously!

  • Apple Stuffed Waffles

    syrup

    You GUYS. I made waffles today. Waffles that turned out more beautifully than I could have ever asked for: soft and fluffy inside yet crisp on the outside, filled with juicy, fully-flavored apples, and easy enough to make on a lazy Sunday morning.

    finalWhabam! Fall just kicked you in the face with these babies.

    apples

    I actually feel a little guilty about something: I have yet to go apple picking this Fall, and to be honest it’s been years since I’ve been able to make it happen. We’re in New England, and it’s sort of a big deal around here. In addition to the actual picking of apples, I remember there being apple cider doughnuts, caramel apples, gallons of warm apple cider, and a lot of little kids with their sticky hands running around. I remember coming home with a huge bag of apples that I had picked myself and feeling kind of proud that I was going to use the fruits of my labor (pun definitely intended) for a great pie or cake or apple challah bread. And whatever I made would be completely and totally the product of my own hard work (apart from actually planting the apple tree – ain’t nobody got time for that).

    You only need two apples to make these, so if you were to go apple picking you’d have to find other uses for the rest of them. Did I mention apple challah bread!? It’s pretty great.
