Let’s set the scene: it’s barbecue season and you’re not a beer drinker, but you can’t bear the thought of your white wine getting warm in the sun. That’s when it’s time to hit your properly-stocked home bar and whip up a batch of your favorite cocktail. The only problem with homemade cocktails is that they tend to be loaded with sugar and calories, so you feel guilty having even one…until you have your second…or third. By then, the damage is done and we haven’t even gotten to the snacks yet. The best way to slash the sugar and calorie content of any beverage is to swap out mixers that are high in sugar and substitute them fresh fruit and fresh fruit juice. Then, you can make pretty much any cocktail “skinny” and you can drink (responsibly) to your heart’s content.

Although most of the recipes were calling my name, it was a granola recipe that caught my eye. I left the book sitting open on my kitchen table for about a week and a half (because you can do that when you live alone) before I finally made the recipe on a Sunday afternoon. The best part about this granola is that it pulls double duty: a substantial snack or a breakfast cereal, chock full of almonds and cranberries (the original recipe called for dates but I had cranberries on hand so that’s what I used. I could make so many jokes here about how I DON’T HAVE ANY DATES but I’m going to refrain). Save Print Almond Crunch Granola Author: Morning Glory Farm Recipe type: Breakfast […]
