O yes, I did! Granola power or slow cooker power, I’m not sure, but combined, they produce one of the most magical and yummy snack creations that will ever come out of your kitchen! Breath in the sweet buttery coconut, breath out bliss and joy! Slow cooker granola is a “thing”, I had just never taken the time to do it myself. I love the quicker methods like in the skillet, but there is something about the slow cooker magic that couldn’t be denied! This lesson in having a little patience will be remembered going forward.Read More

What screams “holiday joy!” to me? Skillet granola! More accurately, mint chocolate skillet granola! This may have to become a yearly seasonal tradition! Last year I shared my cranberry pecan skillet granola, but I never got a chance to share this mint chocolate one I made at the same time and so I’ve been waiting anxiously for a year! It was one of my favorite granola recipes too! The unfairness, I know!Read More

What’s Valentine’s Day without a little raspberry red and bittersweet chocolate chips? A sad one, that’s what! I wanted to make sure I gave you all the sweet love-filled treats before the “big day”. But this recipe is a little throwback Thursday Wednesday. Why? Well, This granola was made a little over a year ago during winter break of 2015 and I had meant to post it as a Valentine’s Day  treat last year but obviously I dropped the ball on that one. So better late (a year late) than never!Read More

When the random granola–making–craving hits, that’s just what a girl has to do. I found myself last week in need to some granola making, not just to replenish my stock, but also to just relax and enjoy one of my favorite past times of granola baking. However, instead of using the oven this time, I made my granola in my lovely new cast iron skillet! (I actually made a different granola recipe with the skillet a few weeks ago, but I decided to share this one first). My new cast iron that I got 2 months ago finally gets its debut on the blog!Read More

What has become of the Granola Queen, you may be thinking. I’m terribly sorry I haven’t shared a granola recipe in what seems like years! I should have probably shared my older ones first (from last August perhaps?), but this most recent and seasonal one just seemed like a better fit. No matter what the combo, granola will never fail to bring a smile to my face. I’m very fond of my “granola flavor idea list” I keep in a Google doc, as well as my coveted granola board on Pinterest.Read More

Side Dish or Dessert? 🤔 Where does the CLASSIC marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole reside? 🤷‍♀️ * It's always been a "sweet" side dish in our family, definitely NOT a dessert!

What do you call this classic Thanksgiving side? 🤷‍♀️ Technically, this is "dressing" since it was baked on its own (not inside a bird). 😝 My family has ALWAYS called it stuffing and I grew up in the Northeast. In the South, they tend to call it "dressing". They also tend to make it with...CORNBREAD! 🤩 * I ALWAYS make my famous "traditional" stuffing recipe (on the blog), but a cornbread stuffing sounded delicious to try this year!
