I love to make granola.

In the last two months I have learned to make granola. It is very easy and quick to make, a simple clean up and results in a very satisfying breakfast or snack. Granola welcomes creativity with the various nuts, grains, fruits, seeds, sweeteners, and spices I can use. And like most of my cooking, it starts in the pantry cupboard with, hmmm, what can I combine to make something yummy?

For the goodies: I used to make my granola with sliced raw almonds and now it is raw cashews my Mother got me in Panama. Sometimes cinnamon, sometimes cardamon, and today I am adding cinnamon apples chips. They are dehydrated apples with cinnamon, all organic and nothing else. Sounds good, huh? Sweeteners are always changing. Sometimes it is my brother's honey, agave nectar, and once in a while a spoonful of brown sugar.

I think I might start experimenting with different almond, hemp, and rice milks to see if I can find any taste synergies.

Time for breakfast.
