School Breakfasts

BACK TO SCHOOL BREAKFAST

Weekday breakfast tends to be a zippy experience.  Not much time for making p-cakes, waffles, omelets, hashes – that’s weekend fare.  But there are other options besides boxed cereal.  Homemade granola is easy peasy to make and a boatload less expensive than purchased granola.  Granola recipes beg to be fiddled with – so use either what you have on hand or what’s most calling out to you.  See the list of add-ins following the recipes.

• Basic Granola
  
• Holiday Granola
  
• Muesli
