granola.

I love granola.  LOVE.

I've been looking for a great granola recipe online and this one I really do love (although I made some modifications)

cranberries, slivered almonds, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, ground flax

isn't it a beaut?

I doubled the liquid part of the recipe because I read that this recipe was really dry, and it was.

even with doubled binding agent.

but still delicious.

crumbs.

did you know you don't have to count the calories when you're eating crumbs?  

it's like a sweet little bonus ;)

apple cranberry pie

so the best thing about the mister's new job is that if he makes nice with the culinary students who work the cafe, they bring him beautiful pies like this for us to fatten up on.

apples and cranberries.

so delicious.

so pretty.

I may eat this whole pie over the weekend.

yeah I said it.

then I will run several miles.

cranberries!!

I felt like I wanted to practice a Thanksgiving recipe this weekend and this pin inspired me.

cranberry salsa.

I food processed mine a little more than my pin, but it was so delectable.

even the husband liked it.

we devoured it.  I was so happy that it was so tasty that I jumped up and gave my husband a big hug.  ha!

pistachios + dried cranberries = awesome

+ =

I love pistachios. I also love dried cranberries. Since I had some of both on hand this weekend and I'm experiencing a mild obsession with granola lately, I decided to try my hand at making my own pistachio cranberry granola.

my latest masterpiece... ready to put some milk on it!
