Granola
Since we're moving back to Virginia with only what will fit in an Acura TL and won't be taking my cookbooks and favorite recipes, I've decided to start posting some of the recipes from Ed and Linda's cookbook on our blog. That way we can all access them anytime/anywhere!
Granola: This recipe comes from the Inn at Little Washington. It is enjoyed with fruit or yogurt in the morning.
Ingredients:
5 C rolled oats (not the quick cooking kind)
1 1/2C raw, unsalted whole cashews, cashew pieces, walnuts or pecans
1 1/2C shredded unsweetened coconut
1C wheat germ
1C soy four
1C sesame seeds
1C slivered almonds
1C vegetable oil (not olive oil)--I recently tried using 1/2 of the oil and substituted the other 1/2c with apple sauce, it worked out beautifully!
1C honey
Nonstick cooking spray
Method:
Preaheat oven to 325F. In a large bowl, combine oats, nuts, coconut, wheat germ, soy flour, sesame seeds. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Add oil (and applesauce, if you wish) and stir well. Mix in the honey and stir to combine. Spray several large baking sheets with cooking spray. Spread granola evenly, about an inch deep, on the cookie sheets. Bake, turning frequently, for about twenty five minutes (or until golden brown). Let cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container.

Not a BABY Anymore...
Well, it's official...our little Mac is a toddler! He's been teeter-tottering on two legs for a few weeks now, but has recently been making tighter turns and lifting his feet over obstacles. Some days are more exciting than others and today was just one of those days I couldn't help but just watch him in amazement as he cruised through the kitchen, made a hard left and toddled down the hallway.
He's long figured out that objects have a purpose and watching him make connections is adorable. He now holds my phone to his ear (maybe sign I talk on it too much? I try not to...at least not in front of him!), and will pick up a hairbrush and brush his hair (well, sort of--he tries!).
Even Chase is a supporter of these newly discovered skills... Mac's most favorite thing to do in the entire world is feed his buddy Chase! Whenever he can manage an escape he'll take-off down the hall towards the powder room (which is where we keep Chase's food and water now). After glancing over his shoulder with a twinkle in his eye that says "Game On, Mom!" he scoots right up to the dog food bin and somehow manages to remove the (not-so childproof) lid. Reaching in and scooping out handfuls of kibble and dropping them piece by piece into Chase's bowl -- it cracks him up and Chase is a big fan too! I can't help but smile...watching them "bond!"
I leave you with a few pictures from our trip to San Diego (with Daddy) and LA where we visited our good friends Katheryn and Sophie.
