Author Notes
For three years, I’ve lived in Portland, OR.
Why? Because I love the rain. I am blessed to have a lot of energy on a normal basis, so the rain helps to cool me down and regulate my hyper ways. I love the people. I love the coffee shops. I really, really appreciate that there is enough interest in painting the streets for the city to agree to such a thing.
But one thing that Portland is really missing is the crisp feeling of fall.
So now that I am in Minneapolis for the summer and into fall, I am making the most of it. I am filling the kitchen with scents of cinnamon, pumpkin, squash, and and apple.
This granola has apple, honey, cinnamon and cranberries to fulfill the need of every fall over! —Skylor Powell
