One of the benefits of working from home is having a backyard to have breaks in. I really must remember this more often and eat lunch in front of the computer less often. Especially with the good weather and a garden that benefits greatly from even 5 minutes of weeding a day.
Today’s lunch was chopped bananas and strawberries tossed in yogurt with a drizzle of maple syrup and then topped with homemade nut-filled granola. The fresh air and sunshine were the key ingredients. Remember to enjoy them when you can.

Why am I so hungry!!? Oh. Right. It’s 2 o’clock and I haven’t had lunch yet. Oh. Wait. I haven’t had breakfast yet either. Let’s fix both problems with breakfast for lunch for breakfast. And maybe dinner as well depending on how much work I try to get done. Homemade nutty granola sprinkled on yogurt. Served with coffee so strong your spoon will stand up, sweetened with maple syrup and lightened with cream.
For homemade granola put 8 cups of your favourite nuts, seeds, grains and spice in a large bowl. In a saucepan combine maple syrup, butter and vanilla (about 2 cups total) and warm it up. Pour over dry ingredients, mix, and bake at 350 until golden. Add dried fruit while it’s cooling. And don’t forget to eat breakfast.
