VANILLA ALMOND GRANOLA

April 14, 2019 by Sarah Baade Leave a Comment

I currently have two food obsessions. First, popcorn. My daughter and I have been sharing a bowl of popcorn after school lately. We sit on the front porch and snack while we wait for my husband to get home. She isn’t old enough for this to become a long-term memory for her but I’m holding it dear to my heart. When I look back at my own childhood memories, it is the simple moments of quality time with my parents that are my favorites. I am trying to be fully present in these little moments with my daughter so that eventually they become memories for both of us.

My second food obsession of the moment is homemade granola. I’ll eat it as a bowl of cereal or mixed in with some yogurt. If nothing else is available, I’ll just eat it by the handful. I have rarely bought granola in recent years simply because of the frequently high sugar content. One of the things I love most about cooking is knowing exactly what is in my food. Granola incredibly easy to make, my daughter was able to put it together with me helping her with measuring ingredients. Granola is also easy to customize. You can keep it simple or add in all sorts of nuts or dried fruit. I’ve been making a batch every week over the past month and this particular recipe is too good not to share with you.

Tips:

  • If you like a chunkier granola, let it cool completely before stirring it.
  • I like to store my granola in the freezer to keep it fresh and crunchy longer.

Potato Chip Cookies

Potato Chip Cookies - Slice Of Honey Blog

As I look through my grandmother’s recipe box, I realize that she saved far more dessert recipes than any other kind. I can relate! For years, I have cut out recipes and carefully taped them into notebooks by category. I have a notebook for main dishes, one for sides and one for drinks. Each of these is partially filled. Then I have two notebooks for desserts that are overflowing. No lie, I have loose cut out recipes tucked away in the back of each one. Perhaps it is time for another notebook? I clearly started this habit pre-Pinterest but I still enjoy flipping through those pages and seeing the “love” (okay, mess) and notes that I made on some of those recipes. You know it is a really good one if there are stains all over it!

So as to live up to my grandmother’s standards, I decided it was time to make another dessert. There are so many to choose from in that recipe box and eventually I hope to get to most of them – have no fear, I will not resort to the shrimp Jello recipe I found. I’ve been wanting something unique rather than classic lately so I’ve opted to update her recipe for potato chip cookies.  After a quick google search, I learned that this is more common than I thought (even Martha Stuart has a recipe for them!) but the butterscotch chips set this recipe apart from any other I’ve seen.

Tips:

  • If you’re not a fan of butterscotch, swap those chips out for chocolate.
  • I used plain ridged potato chips for this recipe. I placed them in a large zip lock bag and then rolled over them with a rolling pin until they were evenly crushed.
