Please excuse those blurry cranola clumps up front. You see, I just bought my first DSLR camera and have no clue how to use it. I started reading the 291-page instruction manual and watched a few tutorials on CreativeLive and YouTube but got anxious and decided to take a few test shots. Hence the poor focus (and probably a million other amateur mistakes that I’m just too ignorant to notice). Still, I think this photo is a big step up from the images I was capturing with my trusty point-and-shoot. I’ll let you be the judge….
Funfetti Cake Cookie Granola

Raspberry Coconut Cookie Granola
It’s been exactly five days since I made my last batch of cookie granola. I can’t stop making – and eating – this sweet, crunchy treat. I suppose there are far worse addictions – drugs, smoking, shopping. So, in the grand scheme of things, my cranola habit is pretty innocuous….
