Most of the time, one of my major goals when making granola is to get some nice chunky clusters going on. This granola transcends that concern entirely. It has more a muesli look; chock full of nuts and seeds with a nice crunch to it, and the way the brown sugar dissolves into milk makes one want to savor every bowl.
Toasted pumpkin seeds are a tasty and healthy snack. Great to mix things up and satisfy that need for savory crunching. Not only that, but putting the seeds to use when cooking with squash reduces food waste!
Taking its flavor inspiration from the classic dessert, this recipe incorporates fresh lemon zest, coconut and buttery pistachios into a chunky, bright granola that, despite its namesake, isn’t overly sweet. It makes for a particularly gorgeous breakfast with fresh blueberries and yogurt.
Avocado toast basically it does what it says on the tin, and memes aside, it’s great. Satisfying and nutritious any time of day, whether as a snack or a meal. You can cook the eggs any way you want to.
Compote–a dish of stewed fruit–is great with things like yogurt, pancakes, waffles, ice cream, etc. This exceedingly easy recipe eschews the usual sugar syrup instead using raisins for an added bit of sweetness.
Guacamole dates back to the Aztec Empire, and to this day it continues to make the world a better place. It’s a part of Mexican cuisine and has become part of American cuisine as well. Delicious served with Mexican dishes, or simply eaten on tortilla chips in mass quantities, it’s healthy and super easy to make. You can use this recipe as is, or use it as a base and choose your own add-ins.
