Sorry, east coasters (and anyone else experiencing winter’s essential return). I brought the cold spring weather by planning this recipe weeks in advance thinking that the first week of May would be warm and sunny and we’d be licking cones of ice cream ahead of the melting. Like, seriously, where did the warmth go, people?!…

Chai Spiced Granola
It’s that time again! Time for cinnamon and nutmeg and cardamom and PUMPKIN and all the best flavors that fall has to offer. Essentially, it’s the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year. So let’s kick it off with none other than a warm, toasty, spicy snack that will have you reaching into…
Piña Colada Granola
I’m usually very good at following “indulge in moderation.” Usually. Unless granola is involved. Then I can finish an entire batch faster than you can find enough things to put it in/on (umm, your hand, obvious choice). This batch didn’t stand a chance in our house, especially considering one of us is pregnant and the other…

Happy extra day of the year! And if it’s your birthday like it is one of my dearest friend’s, even happier day to you, because you made it onto the calendar this year. #2016goals Today I’m here to share with you our newest cookie obsession: protein cookies. Now before you go running for the hills…
Apple Quinoa Granola

I’ve been going back and forth between those two and just plain, fairly boring granola over…
Toasted Coconut Curry Peanuts
Do you ever make a snack or a treat that you find yourself taste testing until it’s gone? I’m not talking taking some and walking away with it or putting it in a bowl and sitting down to eat it… I’m talking standing over the container or tray you made it in and just gobbling…
Almond Joy Granola
Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don’t. Is that still the tag line for Almond Joy? I sure hope so, because the jingle (hello, 1990!) has been stuck in my head for daysssss, and it brings back lots of childhood memories. I’ve always been an Almond Joy gal (as opposed to a gal of the…
Soft-Baked Carrot Cake Granola
Fun fact about Lynn: carrot cake is one of my top 3 favorite desserts (along with chewy oatmeal raisin cookies and yellow cake with chocolate frosting), and I make an amazing one with the creamiest cream cheese frosting ever. It’s true. When I owned my own cake baking/decorating business, it was my most prized recipe,…
