Mmm fresh granola over fresh fruit with cream! The perfect snack for JT. I prefer my granola plain with milk or over a warm bowl of oatmeal. The granola has the most wonderful flavor. It fills the kitchen with amazing heartwarming smells.Granola is easy to make...as so much better than store bought. I love it..and it makes great gifts, in canning jars (Wonderful idea, Anne!) Simple pleasures.
