after savouring a few articles on the art of making granola {of which you'll find just one here}, i dared making my own. it took me two bakes only to understand the business of making granola is a serious one. and then the liberty to engineer yourself sweet and savoury! even my son-of-the-non-granola-league approved. hungry for granola now? read this and you'll run for your cupboard oat & co. if we're talking favourite plates however, hands down: mussles and belgian fries. jane's corner view, francesca's hosting.
Hi Nadine,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking lately to bake my own granola and decided that I have no glue how to do it properly and decided to leave it behind and after your description I think, that wasn't a bad idea. You might show me how it works when you're here...

What are Belgian fries? The granola does look yummy! :>)
ReplyDeleteBelgian fries = French fries = frites (in french) ! :-D
DeleteI don't know why the term "french fries" exists...because it's typically Belgian... Nadine, do you know why?
i have NO idea at all, i was gonna give that same answer, belgian=french fries. let me just check. okay "french" could be related to the fact they are deep fried and in history that was typically french. in WWI soldiers had them and thought they were in france, and thus exclaimed "french" fries, instead of belgian, the country in which they ended up. let's put it like this : the origin is unclear. the taste however? ah, don't get me started! ☻
Deletefresh home made granola, looking really yammie yammie!!
ReplyDeletei rather look at it how you do it, than making it myself!

Nadine, I confess I never tasted granola... I think I will after I saw yours! Have a nice day!
ReplyDeletehi Nadine,
ReplyDeletelooks tasty and healthy!
I also make my own for a while.
instead of oil and sugar (or maple) I use a mixture of TAHINI (sesam paste) and DATES MOLASSES (you can find it in the vegetable arabic or turkish shops). this is kind of the Israeli style of granola - worth trying!
Yum! I know what you mean about the serious business though, I did make it once and always said I want to do it again, but haven`t!! I am inspired by yours now, and may just get down to the oats and grits of it again and give it a roll!! Great plate!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your fun themes:))

This Granola intrigue me ... it seems very good. I must confess that I have never eaten that. I have to try!!!
ReplyDeletelooks so good and it would be appropriate for my breakfast. I eat cereal every day. From Monday to Friday. Only on weekends I eat bread with an egg. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely will be trying out these recipes. I eat oatmeal/porridge everyday and this looks like a nice variation!!
ReplyDeletethanks for the theme, I couldn't decide what to share so I did a dessert, but of course I'm a thai food crazy lady. The spicier the better!!
p.s. when you plan on coming to London let me know. It would be great to meet. sending you warm hugs.
Yum I love homemade granola & yours looks mighty good!
ReplyDeleteyeah I'm hungry now! drat now I have to go shopping ;)
ReplyDeleteI like your nut choice for your granola. Made plenty of granola. My husband eats a done of granola!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea it wouldn't be simple, but now I can see how. Yum!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I always have the same problem when I make mine - I never end up with some in a jar for later.
ReplyDeleteI have been making my mom's granola recipe lately - soo good! Yours looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteLooks really yummy. Will take a look with time
ReplyDeletemussels and belgian fries sound far better to me, but then like your son, i'm also of the non-granola-league!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea ! Love it !
