It’s not even the second week of September and I feel like things are crazed beyond belief already. I meant to get this up on Thursday and share the deliciousness for September’s Leftover Club but life decided to interfere.
Now – for those that don’t know about the deliciousness that is The Leftovers Club, it’s a group of fabulous bloggers led by Elizabeth of Food Ramblings where we share with each other some tasty treats from our blogging adventures. When food bloggers test recipes, there’s always a plethora of leftovers so why not share with our fellow blog buddies, right? This month I was paired up with Joanne of Eats Well With Others. I had the privilege of meeting Joanne at the San Pellegrino event a few weeks prior so when I saw I was paired up with her, I knew I had to whip up a recipe that was healthy and delicious. This Cherry Almond Granola was a must – sweet and a bit savory from the salty nuts. Joanne was in the midst of moving chaos so I figured that this granola would be one of those snacks that would be perfect to munch on. I’ve been dying to add my own spin to this tried and true Barefoot Contessa recipe. Let’s just say – I had to make a double batch – one for Joanne – one for the household and, last time I checked the granola container, I might have to make another batch.
Next time you are looking for the perfect granola, make a batch of this deliciousness. One bite of this Cherry Almond Granola and you will never go back to store bought again!
On to the recipe:
Gather your ingredients
Love how everything can be mixed together in one bowl – easy peasy
Nice and toasty – ready for some cherry and cranberry lovin’
I guarantee that a batch of this loveliness will not last long – but it’s so much better to snack on than chips, right?
