There’s a new granola in town and I’m loving it. Yup, you guessed it. It’s this Cinnamon Harvest Granola I’m sharing with today. It’s the perfect sweet, nutty and spicy way to start an autumn day, or any day of the year. Have a jar of this waiting for you on the counter in the morning and you just might look forward to waking up. I sure do.

Fig season is in full swing and I’m loving every minute of it. And to think I thought that once we’re back in LA I would be missing out on the amazing figs in Istanbul. Well, I do miss Istanbul and the figs there truly are second to none, but I’m very happy to report I’m still getting in on plenty of the fig action here in LA. Not only does my sister have a fig tree in her backyard that is having a great harvest this year, but my childhood neighbor’s decades-old tree (which somehow we’ve never noticed) planted by her late grandfather is seriously producing the most lovely, ripe figs. And she is sharing them with me by the plateful. I couldn’t be more grateful and can’t help but think how the world really does work in mysterious ways. And today, I want to share one of the latest fig-tastic creations, this Fig & Whipped Ricotta Toast with Rosemary Honey.

We celebrated my son’s 7th birthday this week. (I still can’t get over the fact he is SEVEN already. Like, seriously, how. But I’ll spare you a trip down gushing mama memory lane.)

And while it may not have had all the bells and whistles of years past, these Chocolate Chip & Sprinkles Birthday Pancakes sure started the day off on a celebratory note.
I’m usually all about a healthy breakfast for the kids, but sometimes and especially in these strangest of times, I think any extra little thing we can do to mark a special day and show those we love just how much we care, goes a long way. And for Mr. T, chocolate, sprinkles and pancakes will do just that. But combine those three together and I knew he would just be over the moon. And over the moon he was. While also thinking mom had maybe officially lost her mind with such a treat of a breakfast.

I am really excited to share this orange scented Coconut Cashew Granola with you today. We’ve been enjoying it so much for breakfast, an anytime snack and sometimes for dessert with a few mini chocolate chips thrown in. It’s slightly sweet, perfectly crisp, nutty in just the right amount and delicately scented with bright citrus-y notes. And if all that wasn’t tempting enough, the good-for-you factor should seal the deal. Now let’s talk about how to make this insanely delicious recipe…..
