Granola
Cherry Walnut Granola
My boyfriend and I decided to try our hands at homemade granola as a holiday gift instead of baked goods or sweets. I was really happy with how it turned out; in fact, I'd like to make homemade granola more often.
We used rolled oats, dried cherries, coconut, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and other assorted ingredients.
The Truth About Granola Bars
This post is inspired by something I found in my cabinet today: a Nature's Valley Strawberry Yogurt granola bar. I don't eat granola bars (for the reasons you'll read later in this post) but I picked the thing up just to read the label for kicks. Most people think granola bars are the prime example of a healthy snack.

On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it.
