Homemade lavender granola Here we are at the end of week five, how is everyone doing? What are you doing to find some comfort in these difficult times? Cooking with pantry items has been somewhat comforting. Since there are four of us eating every meal at home, we do need food. One thing I made that sort of works for breakfast, lunch or mid-day snack is homemade granola. We loved this one ...
What to wear when you’re staying home + a super simple recipe
