Homemade Granola

Let's make some homemade granola for breakfast.....Now, let me tell ya... I like me some granola for breakfast. But it has to be the right kind of granola. If it is too hard, that just brings my granola vibe down. If it is too soft, it just gets mushy and that just grosses my granola vibe out.

They are these perfect little beans that are the most gorgeous shade of purple. Give them an upright fence to grow on and boom son, no huge planter space taken up. This year, we planted them along this old ladder we had just sitting on the side of the house.

That means, our bellies want comfort food like beef stew and chili. And tonight we made beef stew. My old recipe called for a cook time of, pretty much, all day. This [...]
