You will never buy packaged granola ever again after you make Simple Homemade Granola . All though, there is a ton of variation you can make, the basic ingredients are the same. The basic ingredients are cereals like oats, sweeteners such as brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey, and then you have some fats like butter or oils. Then add anything you like to give it some deliciousness and nutrition, like different seeds, dried fruit and wheat germ. The possibilities are endless, as they say. My favorite way to eat granola is in a Yogurt Breakfast Trifle . A breakfast trifle is simply layered fruit, yogurt, and granola. Why wait for breakfast. Yogurt trifles can be enjoy any time of the day for a dessert or what about an after school snack. Once my family gets their hands in the granola, it so hard for them to stop eating it, so I make sure I keep the ingredients on hand in the pantry. One thing I have learned is ...

Homemade Grape Jam
Homemade Grape Jam, perfectly tart and sweet, this recipe is easy to make and delicious on biscuits, peanut butter sandwiches, and homemade pop tarts. There are a few favorites I have when it comes to home canning, and making jam is at the top. There is such a feeling of accomplishment when you pop open a jar of homemade jams and jellies. Making jam is a lot of work, but truly a labor of love. That is how I feel about the Homemade Grape Jam I made this summer. By the time, my husband picked the grapes, and I processed the grapes to make juice, and then the canning, there is a lot of time invested, but so well worth it. This summer was not any different when it came to harvesting our grapes from our one and only grapevine. When it was all said and done, my husband had picked 7 gallons of grapes, which brought 40 jars of jam. This grapevine is large and has the best combination of sweet and tart grapes, ...

This summer, we had more cucumbers than we knew what to do with due to a little, or you might say a big mistake.
Baked Triple Berry Hand Pies
Baked Triple Berry Hand Pies are so simple to make. All you need is pie crust dough and berries and some sugar to sweeten them. When you have berries or any stone fruits that are needing to be eaten, hand pies are the answer. The one thing I like most about making them is that you really don't have to have a set amount of any ingredients. I start with the berries, by tossing them in some sugar and cornstarch, and then spooning them on top of the crust. For the crust, I start with one recipe of pie crust and make as many of them as I can with that one recipe. Then I make another recipe if I need to---how simple is that? Growing up in East Texas, I had Dewberry vines all around my house. We would start watching for the blooms in the spring. Then we would pick gallons of them. Mother canned several jars of jelly, and froze some also, to make berry cobblers all through the year. ...
