If you've been following along for a while, you might remember the granola recipe I posted back in the summer. It's a basic, easy recipe that is a great way to get comfortable with the process of making your own granola. However, as the post up today on Dorie Greenspan's blog reminds me, there are a variety of ways to spice up your granola. She describes the homemade granola that friends brought with them when they came to visit over the weekend. I am intrigued by the combinations she describes, especially the one that they made just for her that included bits of black licorice. I've never thought of incorporating that kind of sweet into granola and already my brain is racing with the possibilities.
If you are traveling this week to spend the holiday with friends or family, think about stirring up a batch of homemade granola to take with you. It is sure to inspire exaltation and joy from whomever receives your bag of oat-y, nutty goodness.
