Today I have a super yummy and easy recipe to share with you. My mom makes homemade granola all the time and it is one of my faves. Every time I visit she sends me with a bag to take home. She’s always taking care of me. Yesterday I had to get a little surgery (bone grafting / implant) done and she nursed me all day. Everything went great. I was just a little out of it all day from the anesthesia. My mom brought me smoothies/ice packs and insisted I take a nap. I snuggled up with my son in bed and we took a 2 hour nap. It was heavenly. I love that my mom still treats me like her little girl when I’m sick. Aren’t mom’s the best?!
{ Homemade Granola }
This homemade granola is pretty easy to make and is great served on yogurt with fresh cut strawberries. It definitely beats my typical “cereal” breakfast. This also makes a great little snack as well. Top with cool whip and you’ve got yourself a nice little treat.

YUMMY! I love granola! I can’t wait to make this. One of my favorite kinds of granola is pumpkin granola made with pumpkin pie spice. I could eat it all day, every day. LOL!

YUMMY!!! Thank you for posting. I am assuming that is yogurt in the middle? Strawberry Banana, Strawberry… or any other of my favortie yogurts?
On another note. I got so tired of entering drawings for a Silhouette. I finally convinced my husband to buy me one for Valentine’s Day. I guess there are probably lots of other people that have done the same thing. Great idea for boosting sales on a Cameo, though!!! It arrives tomorrow. I am sooooo excited!
