Pumpkin and Nut Granola
Pumpkin and Nut Granola
Have you started all of your preparations for tomorrow’s big feast yet? I am so far behind and starting to get a little frantic. Besides all of the regular dishes we normally have…turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, stuffing…and all that good stuff, I also like to have a few snacks available and ready to go. That is where this yummy Pumpkin and Nut Granola comes in! It’s a great little snack all on it’s own, or you can add it to oatmeal or yogurt which is really good too. You can put this recipe together pretty quickly, so I like to keep some on hand all through the winter.
