Given that we've been cooking up a lot of food in the past couple of days, today the plan is to eat some of the leftovers. However, I thought I'd try something new for lunch, given that I've got a big container of granola leftover from last night.
Voila -- organic vanilla yogurt with homemade granola. As mentioned last night, this granola is based on the Barefoot Contessa's recipe. I made a few changes, including decreasing the amount of sliced almonds to 1/2 cup and adding 1/2 cup of raw sunflower seeds; for dried fruits I used dried apples, dried pears, and dried cranberries; I also used unsweetened shredded coconut and decreased the amount of butter in the honey sauce to about 2 T. Though the recipe is meant to make granola bars, someone decided to break into them about 2 hours and 55 minutes too early into the cooling period, so we ended up with chunks. However, since I mainly plan to use granola in the manner shown above (with yogurt), I decided to make the crumbles even smaller. And holy cow, this stuff is delicious!
