Last weekend, the power went out at State from Hurricane Irene. So Monday we had to go through the fridge & freezer to see what could be salvaged. Luckily, we had made chocolate chip muffins on Friday to have for Monday anyway. Fortunately I guess we were low on most things, due to me learning just how much ahead to order, or not order, as the case may be. The good news is that everything went off ok & we got a big order Monday morning so things went fine. It just was an incredibly busy day, even more so than usual.
The girls are still crazy for the granola. It is such an easy & simple thing to do. This week, we put in cashews & dried cranberries to mix up the flavor a bit. I may try dried cherries too at some point so they don't get bored with it. I will have to get some snack size bags though to pass it on in, since putting it in sandwich bags to go is making it disappear rather quickly! Gina made a batch that was x5 on Tuesday & it will be gone today. The good news is that they are mostly ignoring the crappy cereals this year & eating the granola.
Next week is rush & then things should settle down into a routine for everyone.
That granola recipe has made my breakfast for the past 6 1/2 years. I would be lost without it! I can totally understand why the girls snatch it up like that.
