OOoooo...can't wait to try these! Thanks for posting them!
PS. Remember when we were neighbors? We should have taken more advantage of that. Too bad Cree and I were in loner newlywed phase No. 1. We are still in phase two, but it's not as severe. :)
I made this last night. It's the best granola everrrr. I also added 1/4 sunflower seeds and 1/2 cup wheat germ. Cause you know, why not?
what did the wheat germ do to the consistency?
ps. eat this stuff with greek yogurt. you may develop a habit.
The consistency was fine. I haven't made it without it, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was normal.
And yes, Greek yogurt with this is just about all I eat these days. Do you have a favorite brand?
