Blackberry granola with wild honey and candied fennel
Sweet sauces
When in doubt, go with this simple rule: things that you find in a field together usually taste good.
<br />
<br />Sure, that glowing, bold title up there probably looks fancy to you, what with its promises of wildness and foraging and adventure…and blackberries. But don’t be fooled! I didn’t do any of those things. Except for the blackberries. I did those.
<br />
<br />What I did do was wake up roughly 500 mornings in a row, eat the same granola recipe over and over (not that it’s a bad one: https://freshbeatsfresheats.wordpress.com/2013/02/14/pomegranate-gingerbread-granola/), and get bored. Really bored. For all the crazy, possibly/probably boneheaded stuff I cook up on a regular basis, even I tend to get too comfortable. What’s easier than shoving a bunch of the same ingredients in a bowl, stirring it up, and turning it into granola? Delicious granola, at that?
<br />
<br />Nothing.
<br />
<br />Which explains why I did that very same thing for months on end, and explains why I’m ready to switch up the program…to new granola! With natural-sounding things in it! And a douchy-sounding title you could easily imagine plastered across a Whole Foods display!
<br />
<br />Hey, I never said being comfortable was a bad thing.
