A Grouping of Granolas

A few months ago I discovered the virtues of homemade granola. I feel like one of you should have told me about it sooner! You can eat it in so many ways – as cereal, mixed in yogurt, on ice cream – and make so many variations on a basic recipe. I’m sort of in love, so of course I researched it to death and found these twenty recipes that I can’t wait to try. (Click on the image to be taken to the original recipe source.)

Dream Christmas Dinner

Every December I fly back to Pennsylvania to celebrate Christmas with my dad’s side of the family. And while I love getting to see friends and family in my hometown, it’s always a bit hectic and I naturally wonder what it would be like if lots of things were different and I were hosting Christmas dinner at my house. It would (obviously) be amazing and no doubt tons of work, and maybe someday I’ll get the chance to find out. But for now here’s how the dream evening would go down, enjoy!
