Garden Progress: Melons!

We are doing our bi-annual "no-shopping month" right now and so all the garden produce are extra valuable and appreciated, particularly the fruits!  This melon was perhaps the best cantalope that I have ever tasted. So fresh and ripe.  I am out there daily watching for the others to ripen too!

 

We also finally have a homemade granola recipe that everyone likes. It's from this favorite book of mine: The Homemade Pantry. In case you have not heard my rant about this yet, I despise store bought cereals, both for their empty nutritional value and high cost.  But granola, especially this recipe made with oats, almonds, sesame, sunflower seeds, coconut oil, and maple syrup, is fabulous.  The kiddos were eating it warm off the tray while it was cooling.
