Apricot Granola

Call me a granola addict, but I am not going to stop making granola. One of the main reasons is that I bought a HUGE container of honey, and am getting through it. One granola recipe at a time.

Now I KNOW that this is pretty much the same recipe as my raisin and apricot granola that I made almost a month ago. But this is just me telling everyone how awesome and easy it is to make granola. I want to shovel as much granola down your throats as I am consuming on a daily basis. You know. Because I care.

So this weekend has been a little bit different for me. Anyone who knows me really well knows that I absolutely LOATHE Facebook. Because of a few bad experiences I have had with it in the past. But this weekend, I have decided to get a Facebook page for my blog. Even though it goes against everything that I believe in, (exaggeration of the year alert) I also want to get connected to other peoples’ blogs easier, and get inspiration from them.

It’s in it’s very earliest stage, but I plan to be more active on it in the future 🙂

In the meantime, I think I will be eating a big bowl of yogurt or vanilla chia seed pudding with some of this delicious granola sprinkled on top. Because weekends are meant for breakfast…at all times of the day!
