Tonight I am making my second batch of granola and this time we're going dark chocolate. The aroma wafting from the oven is unbelievable. Like brownies, but way healthier. Just so we are all clear. This was never meant to be a foodie blog and it never will be, but I will still occasionally share the wealth of knowledge I have found and tried on Pinterest.
To be completely honest, the reason I would fail at food blogging is my focus on making the food. I am absolutely horrible about taking the pictures during the process. That said, sometimes I remember, and it just so happens I remembered tonight!
Before I can forget, this is where I got this recipe: Yummy Mummy Kitchen. Oh, and this is the recipe for the almond granola from last week: Whole and Heavenly Oven. Side note, I did not follow either of these recipes to the tee, but mostly.
Now for random pictures of me putting the granola together. (Another reason I am not a food blogger; I am no good at telling stories in between pictures of food I made.)
The first picture is all the dry goods mixed together (oats, coconut, almonds and chia seeds).
Next we have the ooey gooey chocolate mixture poured into the dry ingredients.
All mixed together. The orange bowl has sentimental value. I bought it when I was nineteen from the Dollar Store so I could make candy bar pie (cheesecake with chocolate ganache and Snickers candy bar pieces on top) for Collin's second visit.
It came out of the oven a few moments ago. It's not as cluster-y as the recipe from last week but I think I know something I can try to remedy that. Next time I will give it a try and I will do my best to share the results.
I almost didn't post tonight because my laptop was having mental issues with launching Chrome... No idea what the dealio was, but after a quick reboot I was good to go.
I'm debating spending some time on my other writing project, but my brain is a little drained from work today. Change is something that is rather difficult for me to deal with, more so than I care to admit. At work I feel like change is in the air. I think what rattles me is that it doesn't feel like direct change, but more that stuff around me will be changing. It's unsettling.
So, next post will be two weeks and one day before the anniversary weekend extravaganza starts. I think this will be a great post to begin the no holds barred, tell all of the spark that started what has been the most wonderful and love filled eleven years of my life (so far).
