As a mother of three (GROWING!) boys, I’m always on the lookout for healthy food options at good prices. Living in Lancaster County, we’re privileged to have our pick of discount grocery stores nearby. And almost always I can find good quality, organic yogurt at these stores. I love having yogurt on hand for a quick (and filling) but healthful snack for my boys.

When I stock up on yogurt, I also like to have granola on hand to sprinkle on top. This just makes the snack even more satisfying and filling. And homemade granola is an easy thing to make. I love that you can pretty much put in whatever is your family’s favorite things. Some of ours are nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts), coconut flakes, seeds, and raisins to name a few.

In this particular recipe, I included canned pumpkin because ’tis the season! Pumpkin is a nutrient-dense food which means there aren’t a lot of calories in it but its loaded with good-for-you things like vitamins A and C (as well as other goodness).

Granola is also one of those things that make a great gift. If you have a friend that’s feeling under-the-weather or just needs a little encouragement, why not bake them some granola, attach a pretty label and see their face light up when you hand it to them. 🙂
