Almond Butter and Cherry Granola “Did I turn off the coffee?”

“No… I did.”

“Did you lock up?”

“Yeah.”

“Did we set the timers on the lights?”

“Yeah.”

“Did you close the garage?”

“That’s it. I forgot to close the garage. That’s it.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Well what else could we be forgetting?”

“KEVIN!”

Almond Butter and Cherry Granola4 I have to say, I now know just how Kate McCallister felt at that moment.  I was sitting in the car talking with Tim about all the fun things we were going to do once we arrived in Door County when it hit me.  In my hurry to get out of the house on time, I had forgotten one of my most prized possessions.  No, not my 8 year-old son - my delicious homemade granola.  I was actually talking about how easy Saturday breakfast was going to be.  I had prepped the cinnamon rolls, cut the fruit, and made the granola… wait did I pack the granola… “GRANOLA!” 

Almond Butter and Cherry Granola3 The bummer about forgetting this granola for our family vacation is that it is SO good!  The almond butter and dried cherries give it a sweet and salty flavor with just the right amount of crunch.  The upside to forgetting it is that we now have about 5 cups of this little treat all to ourselves.  Enjoy!
