Nut and Seed Granola & Parfaits

I’ve been staring resolutely at the computer screen, trying to form a cohesive sentence to type. I can’t get them out- the words. They usually flow, but right now they just won’t come. I think they’re on strike after almost a week of battling technology to get this post up. Learning new things, teaching yourself, figuring out issues- it can be incredibly rewarding. Warm fuzzies aside, the process can also make you want to scream and yell and with full force, hurl the computer with all of it’s infuriating technological software mumbo jumbo off of the roof, chuckling wickedly as it soars through the air and smashes into a bajillion pieces on the concrete. Take that “format not recognized” and “error”. I’ll show you who’s boss. muahahahaha {insert your most villan-esque evil laughter here}

Obviously, by the fact that you’re here and able to read these words, I did not succumb to that incredible temptation. Instead, I (almost) figured things out so I can finally share some really yummy granola with you- and even fancier- granola parfaits. Breakfast for dessert. Dessert for breakfast. This granola and parfait recipe will give you lots of options for both. Change up the fruit for what’s in season, add what you like to the granola. It’s super easy and really, really yummy. I think I might just toss one together right now, grab a magazine, then sit outside in the sunshine for the rest of the afternoon. A dessert is always a nice reward, don’t you think? Oh- and be sure to stop by this weekend for a new post in the Ingredient Series and cooking class dates for June and July! Fun!
