Homemade Granola

by

Homemade granola is what I eat most days for breakfast. Enjoy it by itself like I do, or add milk or yogurt and fresh fruit. Feel free to make it with honey or maple syrup instead of brown sugar.

Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad

by

This healthy and flavorful dish is always a hit when I serve it and one of my daughter’s favorites. I’ll pack it in her school lunch when there are leftovers. It goes well with any of your favorite Mexican dishes. It is also great to bring to a cookout since it is safe to sit out in the hot sun, plus it really compliments burgers, chicken or whatever is being grilled. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled which I recommend when feeding a crowd. Comes together in only about 10 minutes.
