Once I started making my own homemade granola a few years ago, it was hard to go back to store bought. I remember I had a friend growing up who always had this amazing locally made granola at her house and we would make incredibly delicious yogurt and granola parfaits. Since then, I’ve been working to try to recreate that same incredible texture and flavor of that granola! I’m happy to report I finally did it with this spiced maple tahini granola!…

Chopped Fall Salad (vegan, gf, soy free)
This is my version of a chopped salad; Fall edition. It’s crunchy and packed flavor! Also referred to as the crunch salad supreme. It has incredible textures and crunch, which I love in a salad. If you haven’t put apple in your salad before, you’re in for a treat. It’s one of my favorite combos! Cabbage and apples consumed together are also incredible for gut health. I love making salad with dense veggies and fruit because it stores so well. I make a large batch of this salad and it doesn’t get soggy like other salads typically would. Paired with a ginger-tahini dressing, you’ll want this salad all Fall!
