I printed Michelle's granola recipe recently and decided to try it today. I had a lot of faith and doubled the recipe. We go through cereal fast so if it were good then I wanted to have plenty on hand. And it was good...even if I did almost burn it. Note to self: set the timer, Dingdong. I subbed sliced almonds for pinenuts and I may add some dried cranberries for the the cherries. We'll see. The kids had some after dinner tonight as "dessert."
My new kitchen experiments here in the near future include baking with dates as a sweetener. I stayed with friends Erin and Steve last week, and Steve made us a divine date shake with soy milk, ice, frozen dates, frozen bananas, nutmeg, and cloves. The dates almost tasted like chocolate. Anyway, that reminded me that I need to experiment with dates.
You?

Experiment with dates? Experimental dating? Really???
I was very successful using dates as a sweetener. I loved the taste. I used the I Can't Believe This Has No Sugar (or something like that) cookbook. Annoying name because the recipes do have sugar...they just used fruit sugar.
I'm hosting a Mardi Gras dinner tonight AND I have a guest cook. I've discovered that there is nothing better (well, you know what I mean) than calling people up and inviting them over to dine when I'm not doing any of the work. I feel like a rich southern belle.
And I miss our homemade granola with rice milk. It was such a wonderful breakfast or snack at any time of day.
