The Slow Season

The bushels of produce that cluttered the kitchen floor are now neatly tucked into a rainbow of jars on the pantry shelves. Days spent weeding and harvesting will now be spent indoors by the woodstove and in the kitchen enjoying the meals we worked so hard for over the growing season…

RuthAnn’s Granola Recipe

I chose to share this granola recipe because it has been a staple in our home for the last 4 years!! We make this recipe 2-3 times a month and sometimes even weekly! Store bought cereal is something that just does not fit the nutritional guidelines of our family!
