Homemade granola is always on hand in my kitchen. I usually have a few jars in the cabinet and a bag or two in the freezer. I eat it almost daily. Granola is one of those confusing health foods, because it can be either wildly healthy or pretty terrible for you depending on the ingredients. I just finished leading a sugar cleanse at one of my … [Read more...]

Lacto-Fermented Green Beans
