Reviews

I always eat granola with low-fat yogurt as breakfast, and I love cooking by myself, this cranberry and almond granola is my first time to try, and they are great, especially the dried cranberries are added after baking, much better than I put dried fruits at last 5 minutes baking, and maple syrup, apple juice give this recipe extra nice flavor, I will definetly make it again.

Bev's Green Bean Casserole

I did not have the corn to add, but I made the rest as described and this was devoured over Christmas. Even by my Mother who despises CANNED green beans. She had 3 servings and asked for the recipe!
