a blog for food lovers.

I love food! I mean, who doesn't right? I love experimenting with food almost as much as I love eating it. I want to share my recipes and experiences with others who might want to try out something new with me. Enjoy! :)

About Me:
My name is Heather. I'm 25 years old and still living at home in New Hampshire with my parents. I'm an independent contractor, and I mainly do promotional events throughout the New England area. I am also involved with promoting local and national artists and on occasion I'll get the chance to travel on the road with them. Photography and Cooking are big hobbies of mine, and my blog is my stomping ground to share them both. I hope you'll stick around for awhile, I've got a lot to share!

*NOTE: I am currently on tour representing the Keep A Breast foundation. I am living on an RV for most of the year and will be updating about food I cook on the RV as well as dining out eats!

Home Made Granola

I just LOVE having granola with my yogurt for breakfast & wanted to make something on my own that wasn’t as sugary and sweet. I found a recipe and re-worked it to my liking. Let me know what you think! :)

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups quick oats

1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup unsalted cashews

1/2 cup slivered almonds

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp allspice

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/4 cup agave syrup

1/2 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup dried blueberries or cranberries

1/3 cup raisins

1/3 cup snipped dried apricots

In a mixing bowl, stir together oats, nuts & spices.

In a small bowl mix orange juice, honey, agave and vanilla. Drizzle over the cereal and stir to coat. Spread the mixture onto a large baking sheet with sides. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 375º, stirring every 5 to 7 minutes, until the granola is crisp and golden.

add dried fruit to granola mixture once it’s out of the oven & let cool. eat!
