Granola

I had seen a recipe on the Food Network for Nutty Granola by Elie Krieger and I've been wanting to make it for 3 months. Well I have all the ingredients. So today, I finally took the half an hour and made it! And the end result? Delicious. Granola is one of those cereals that should be healthy, but is usually loaded with so much extra sugar, fat and artifical flavors, that it ends up being full of fat. This granola contains rolled oats, maple syrup, unsalted pecans, walnuts and almonds and raisins. I also threw in some honey just to complement the maple syrup. Try it for yourself! It lasts a while, costs less than fancy granolas, and it's delicious in yogurt, or just as an afternoon snack...yum!

Is giving up gluten the answer?

As digestive health issues are on the rise, more and more people seem to be going gluten free to fix their stomach ailments. I know a few people who have self-diagnosed themselves with being allergic to gluten, and it has worked well for them. I still wonder though, what exactly is Celiac's disease and is going gluten free a good idea for everyone? I found an article by Karen Collins, MS, RD, and got some answers. Get the lowdown on gluten.

It's been awhile since a post, but that will all change now that I'm in Boston and have plenty more to explore!
I found out about Sweet Cupcakes Bakery. Cupcakes are always a good decision, plus these have the prettiest designs.
