Do you remember Euell Gibbons? I remember this commercial for Grape Nuts from my childhood.
I remember the 1970s when eating natural foods and being aware of the environment was not the norm but what hippies and those on the fringe did. Granola could be found in health food stores in 1970 but didn’t make it main stream until around 1980…can you believe it?
Granola is one of those great cereals to have on hand. It is a great stand alone cereal but a good basic recipe can be used in so many other ways: sprinkled on fruit or yogurt, used as a topping for fruit crisp, and sprinkled on top of muffins and coffee cakes to name a few.
Rather than buying some at the store (which can be pretty pricey), why don’t you make some yourself. This way you can control what goes into it!
