Back to School Granola with Cranberries + Coconut
This nut-free granola is a perfect back-to-school mix of spiced crunchy oat clusters, chewy sweet cranberries and tropical shredded coconut! A great addition to any packed lunch or snack for your little one! These school lunches have all of my normal go-to lunch recipes flipped up side down. In a good way. I always enjoy a challenge and now that Ellie's lunches have to be nut free, I have to think outside the box - her lunch box that is <---- sorry had to! As much as I kinda joke around about the nut free thing, I now realize how hard it must be for parents who have kids that cannot have any nuts - because nuts are in EVERYTHING!! And I find that I toss nuts into EVERYTHING! When I went to make Ellie a fun Breakfast-->for-->Lunch box the other day, I realized my standard granola wouldn't do - it was loaded with nuts. So I quickly tossed together (as quickly as one can move at 6 in the morning with only half a cup of coffee in them) this granola and loved the mix of ...

Ellie’s Favorite Granola – Dried Blueberry + Coconut + Almond
This recipe all started a couple of weeks before my due date, during my crazy nesting filled days, which for me where equally about scrubbing the bathroom e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y to the point of being on the verge of OCD and at the same time preparing big batches of food that were enough to feed an army for after I delivered the baby. I admit I went a bit over the top. My bathroom has sense went completely down hill and my freezer is just at the point of being able to open without a dozen or so meals falling on my toes. It was during my heyday of preparing food, that I decided I needed to make not one granola recipe but three. And while I was at it, I should probably just go ahead and double or triple each of these recipes. Why not, right? Granola is always a good idea. This one was for my little Ellie, filled with some of her most coveted things - blueberries, coconut flakes and almonds. Plus some things that I like to sneak into her food to make it extra healthy - flax seeds, coconut oil ...
