While out shopping, I happened to stop by Barnes & Noble. While I was perusing the cookbook section, I happened to notice a stack of books on the back counter and lo and behold, at the top of the book pile was Cook Yourself Sexy: Easy Delicious Recipes for the Hottest, Most Confident You, from one of my fave stiletto gals, Candice Kumai.

I grabbed one of the copies and went straight to the register. Recipes had to be made and no time like the present, right?…

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….
