I grew up eating my mom’s granola. Nothing compares–it’s been my favorite for decades. However, I tried a co-workers granola and when she told me it was paleo, I couldn’t believe it. It was crunchy, nutty, coconut-y–pure deliciousness. How could there not be grains in it? Well, I immediately googled and decided to make my […]
