New Recipe Tried and other Bits

 

I tried a new granola recipe and boy it's good.  First, it's a recipe from Mennonite Girls and Cook, and called "Backpack Snacks" online.  It calls for granola, so I used my homemade granola that we love.  Picture is the dry ingredients.

Second, I pressed the final mixture into a 9 x 9, parchment lined baking dish instead of rolling it into balls.  The color of these photos are all different, because of the time of day, and how dark the house was from the thick Canadian smoke that was still outside at the time.

These cut very nicely, and were very good, straight from the refrigerator.  It was hard to eat just one of them.  I will be making this again, and switching out the peanuts with walnuts, and switching out the raisins with dates.  Oh my!  The binder is honey and peanut butter.

These are perfect for your hiking days, camping, your grandkids, or just for snacks when you want one.

The rain arrived thank goodness, and washed the smoke in the air away.  The wind arrived too.

Cherry tomatoes are finally (yay!!!) turning red.

Kale, that was re-planted has sprouted.

We tried Halibut for the first time, and we loved it.

The peach tree we planted last year has 2 peaches on it, and the plum tree we planted this year has 3 plums on it.

Weather is 87/67°F, and possibly more rain (yay, we need it).
