As we continue through this journey together, each day will have a theme attached, unless I am totally taken over by some extreme inspiration. Then I think that I may have to ask for just a latitude, if that is okay with you. So today starts miscellaneous Mondays, ans a healthy breakfast of my twisted creation.
This year I decided to put a twist on the usual holiday fruit cake (since no one ever really eats it) I decided to try a version that they would and would be good for them. Results, I can not keep enough of my new creation in the house. As for taking my twisted creation and adapting it to H50 was even easier since the tropical twist was a matter of picking up a different package with even better results.
I can totally see hanging out here having some breakfast doing some lip reading trying to figure out who the heck Shelbourne is... Can't you? I hope you enjoy this Granola recipe as much as my family served over some yogurt while sitting having breakfast, even as a snack when out jogging.
