Usually, when I get home from traveling, I take a nap or some other delightful non-activity. This time, I ran the store and bought food (granted, I was quite hungry considering I didn't have anything substantial to eat during the my sleepover at the Bristol Airport). The moment I got home, I went straight to work.
During my time at the farm, I had a lot of thinking time. A lot of thinking time. I thought about my life now and what I hope to be doing in the future...and of course, what I hope to be eating in the future. While swinging on a hammock in the warm Italian sun, I had little brainstorming sessions of things I could make. A lot of them were based on things I ate on the farm. The idea to make my own granola was based on the fact that my favorite travel snack, granola, is stupid expensive.
Porridge oats, honey, a bit of sugar, vanilla, crushed almonds and a dash of cinnamon mushed together, chucked in an oven. I added some dried fruit mix....which wasn't too great. The raisins/sultanas weren't bad, but the cherries were terrible. Ugh.
It's not too sweet, which means it's perfect with yogurt! I usually have it for breakfast with greek yogurt, so its more hearty than it is a sugary snack. I had it with mango/papaya/passion fruit yogurt this morning, and the yogurt itself was insanely sweet so the granola kind of toned it down. Great with a cup of coffee, that's for sure.
