Dad's Granola


Morag's dad is a journalist. While he's pretty good at writing, he's less skilled at most things around the house. Even changing light bulbs pose a bit of a challenge for him.

But he is quite handy around the kitchen. Dad's granola is especially yummy. The original recipe came from the internet, but he has refined it over the years with the addition of such ingredients as various dried fruits, pumpkin seeds and golden flaxseed (one of nature's healthiest foods). He uses no sugar, apart from honey or maple syrup. And it bakes for over two hours, giving it an intense flavour that you'll find in few other breakfast cereals (certainly not those bought in the supermarket).

Morag thinks her dad's future may lie in granola rather than journalism, so she asked him to put his famous recipe to work for Yummy Stuff. It's now available at the store at a cost of $8 per jar. Try one -- you're sure to come back for more.
