Crunchy Granola!

We have had some pretty productive days here in the burbs since I convinced the man that I would like for us to stay home a few days a week. I usually go along with his get out of the house quests but I need to regroup from the epic road trip.

This week G and the man hammered through a jumbo box of organic granola and at $9 a box that can be a pretty spendy habit. Today it occurred to me that, given my culinary savvy, I could probably make just as good or better granola for a lot cheaper.

I spent a bit of time with some cooking blogs and some cookbooks and with an idea of ingredient ratios, I came up with my own recipe. It really is quite easy and in 30 minutes G and I made enough granola to hopefully, satisfy us for the week.

The Aunties Get Hitched

So the purpose of this epic family road trip was to get to Georgetown in time to be a part of Amy and Anita's wedding. We were so honoured to be invited, not only, to be there but to participate as well.

The beautiful brides, newlywed

He looked so impressed

The brides were stunning, the weather was great, the flowers were beautiful and I drank way too much red wine. It was a beautiful day to celebrate their love.
