It’s not surprise that I love granola. I’ve blogged about it a bunch of times (just type in granola in the search field at the top). Granola is one of those things that I can never find just right in the packaged version. As someone with a serious aversion to raisins I’m forever disappointed that [...]

The other night I didn’t have a plan for what I wanted for dinner so I decided to do Breakfast for Dinner (my fave). I was at Metro supermarket and saw a 3-pack of croissants on the “Poor People’s Shelf” (the discount baked goods rack) for $2.00 off and bought them to make some Croissant [...]
