This recipe for homemade granola is one that I am particularly proud of. It took me a long time to get around to making homemade granola because it seems so easy to buy granola at the grocery store.

The thought of making crepes can be intimidating but with the right equipment, a bit of a technique and some practice, I got a group of kids making perfect crepes within an hour. What I loved about theContinue reading “The crepe class”
