I don't cook much- shh.  Life is busy and to be honest I am not a food lover, I have often wished there was a way to be full and eat without taking all of the time.  I know I know- there are so many things out there that taste so wonderful, I just don't like to take the extra time.  Anyway, that leads me to my challenge for this year (I am counting the year from my birthday to my birthday) I am going to try and make dinner for my family at least 3 times a week.  Please don't gasp or judge!  I am hoping that it will become a good habit much like my habit (obsession) with reading that is still going strong.  I am also hoping to be better about sharing here on the blog because we can all use some great yummy ideas to keep food interesting right?  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>I would love to hear how you keep your food life interesting (this girl needs ideas).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This granola is something that I make fairly often and it is simple and delicious sprinkled over yogurt or simply with milk and some fresh berries.  I have twe<i>a</i>ked it a little bit from the original...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>Homemade granola </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4 1/2 cups Old fashioned rolled oats (not instant)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3/4 cup shelled, raw, unsalted sunflower seeds</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 1/2 cups slivered raw almonds</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2 tablespoons ground cinnamon</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 1/4 cups pure maple syrup, preferably grade A dark amber</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1/3 cup canola oil</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">salt to taste (I usually use a couple of pinches)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1 tablespoon ground flax seed</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">optional: 1 cup dried cranberry</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1.

I love their stuff and my apartment would be amazing!!  We had a chance to have a late lunch there one afternoon and it was perfect!  We sat in my dream spot by the window over looking the door so I could see the people coming and going.  The waiter was sweet and the food was wonderful.  I loved it and vowed to stop again during out trip but never made it back to eat there. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;">It is one of the best restaurant interiors I have seen in California lately, and I fell for the boho charm that was pouring from everywhere, even the wait staff had a little boho hippy vibe going on.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
