I don't think of myself as a "granola Mom" at all...but I do enjoy making good, wholesome, real food for my family. I don't like feeding them things that I know have added substances their little growing bodies don't need. I believe that a great deal of "food" that is offered for kids is a direct result of the food industries lack of health standards, and also a lack of educating ourselves about what is in the food. I also believe the things {additives} in so called food are attributing to the rise of Childhood allergies, obesity, and learning disorders. It's something I am passionate about because I believe it's important what goes in our bodies long term! But I also don't believe it's all about food ~ it is happiness ~ stress levels ~ overall health ~ state of mind ~ attitude ~ a multitude of things! So I just thought I would share this recipe and encourage you to try making your own food more. I buy some pre-made foods/snacks, what can I say ..I'm a mom living in the real world! But I also try to balance that out with a larger amt coming from whole foods ...not the store but the actual whole foods... So here is my lovely pan of the easiest granola ever to make.....isn't it pretty too?!
This recipe came from a blog I follow called Sparrows and Spatulas. She is a Mom who lives in Denver and works for a design/marketing firm out of Brooklyn. I just like her style ~ simple ...clean...healthy. So the credit goes to her for the photo below and finding this recipe .....
I hope you make it and enjoy a bowl with your family! It's a man-pleaser too! Josh has been eating it straight out of the container.. This is also one that would be great used as a topper for salads, yogurt, or oatmeal.
Happy Fall and almost Halloween!!!! : )
