My Life Story About Making Simple Homemade Granola

You don’t want to read this, and I don’t want to write it.

But the truth is, I can’t seem to get my yummy, cheap, easy recipes in front of people unless I write a book before I share the recipe.

I don’t know why it’s that way, but it is.

Really, it’s too bad I don’t have a funny story to share about granola.

The only thing that comes to mind is that I sometimes get granola confused with Chex Mix, and I try to bake it for an hour.

Don’t do that.

It doesn’t turn out yummy.

Plus, you really make the recipe much harder than it is.

Why do I make so many things harder than they need to be???

That could be a blog post of its own.
