| I have been making granola for many years. But it just came to my thoughts this past week that I should use some of my infused oils to flavor the granola with instead of butter. Blood Orange was the flavor that came to mind first, so here is my recipe… It’s quite delicious! I will be signing cookbooks and sampling this recipe and others at the Westerville Public Library, 126 S. State Street this Saturday April 3rd from 1-3pm. |
