Maple Pecan Granola

once i accidentally paid $10 for granola, and it lasted less than a week. it was so delicious but i knew i could never buy it again. so i have been making a similar version and it's really fantastic. i make it once a week or i regret it big time when i force down honey nut cheerios. yuck. in my perfect world, every meal of the day is homemade. recipe here.

Carmelized Pears

you know how at the farmer's market they sell things in bushels sometimes so sometimes you get home and realize you were ripped off and sometimes you get home and you have 15 pears? well if the latter ever happens to you, you should also make yourself some carmelized pears. i didn't have have time to take a picture of them before they were consumed. you should put them over vanilla ice cream.

Peach Shortbread

super easy, and super delicious. blink your eye and they're gone and your husband is mad he only got two bars. whoops.
