Granola is amazingly easy to make, store, and travel with. It’s great as a snack, a meal, and a quick energy booster. I usually eat it as a snack, and it goes great with coconut milk or yogurt. I have a recipe for granola in my first cookbook, and lately I’ve been making my carrot …
Almond Macaroon Cookies

I’ve been playing around with coconut oil and cocoa butter …
