Granola Sunday

I don't know why, but it always seems I have the most cooking ambition on Sundays (maybe it's because I usually do my shopping that day as well).  We go through granola like it's going out of style so I have been meaning to make my own since it is so cost efficient.  This was also a really easy one for the little one to help with.


Coconut Oil

         Agave Nectar

      Add oats, nut, and anything else you want (I threw in chia seeds, a little brown sugar, and cinnamon)

      Spread everything on a pan, and bake for about 15-20 minutes (until hard)

We went to visit our friends Jen and Lucy again this weekend, and Munchkin had a blast playing with Lucy and her cousin Ava. I couldn't resist posting this one...

Zucchini Chips

I found a bunch of zucchini for a really good price so in my attempt to get her to eat more veggies we made zucchini chips!

For christmas my mom got us some new kitchen gadgets, and I was excited to put this one to use today...

I have no clue what it's actually called, but it worked pretty great for chip making!


I just finished the chopping when munchkin realize what I was doing. She quickly grabbed her stool, and while scooting it over to me was singing, "mommy here I come to help you!" Which was fine because the chopping was done and all that was left was...


Mixing...
and Mixing...
and mixing...

RECIPE:

Chop zucchinis, mix in with olive oil and salt
bake in oven for about 1.5 hours at 250 degrees (watch closely until they are how you want them)

They turned out pretty yummy, but Munchkin still decided to eat an orange instead
