I looooove granola, but I feel like the ones we buy in the store are so full of sugar, and are SO expensive. So I decided to attempt my own, and I have to say, I'm pretty happy with the results! It's not nearly as sweet, and has a great nutty flavor overall. I don't… Continue reading Basic Granola

Because Brunch.
Y'all know I love a good brunch. I ESPECIALLY love hosting a good brunch! Recently, I hosted a Sunday brunch for the ladies of my small group at church.
