good morning!

Good morning San Diego!

Last night I made homemade Maple-Nut Granola. Yummy! I saw a picture in the Martha Stewart, Everyday Food Magazine... It looked so good that I just had to try & make it. Sorry, I didn't take pictures of the before cooking process. I was juggling kicking kids out of the kitchen, cleaning & trying to read the recipe. Well, I did it. I knew my biggest & hardest critique would be honest with me & tell me if it was good or not... Sean loved it! Thank goodness! Then I presented it to the kids this morning... Hmmm Ryan is riding his tri-cycle around the house & Taylor is enjoying eating it. I think it was a huge success... Try & make it for your breakfast tomorrow morning. I rate it a 10 on easy to make & 10 on yummy to eat!
