Julius and I were a little confused this morning…
…aren’t these usually signs that X-mas is OVER?!?
Nope – things were still very much in Holiday prep mode back at home. I even threw together two last-minute gifts!
A trail mix of all my favorites -
- Dried Cranberries
- Banana Chips
- Cinnamon Sugar Almonds
- Dried Pineapple
- Sunflower Seeds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Dried Apricots
- Yogurt Raisins
Mocha Granola -
- 2.5 cups rolled oats
- 4 packets Sugar in the Raw
- 1 packet Starbucks VIA
- Pinch Salt
- 2 TB Melted Coconut Oil
- 4 TB Honey
- 1 Lindt Dark Chocolate Roasted Almond bar
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Stir all the ingredients (except for the chocolate) in a mixing bowl. Put it onto a greased baking sheet for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. When it’s golden brown and toasted, cool completely, then add the chocolate bar – broken into pieces.
My usual breakfast photo spot has been hijacked!
Reached the bottom of the White Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter
Filled the jar with Nonfat Chobani, packet NuStevia, and a sprinkle of each homemade gift…
…quality control, of course
Speaking of presents, I got a lovely one from my intern Caitlin!
Those PB Chimes went straight into my suitcase…
…pretty much packed…
…just polished off the last of the fresh produce…
….and….X-mas vacation starts NOW.

Have a great Christmas vacation! Love all the pics in your post.
Have a lovely vacation, Lynn! Let me know when you’re available to meet up this season.
That mocha granola would last about one minute in my house…and then I’d be bopping off the walls. Can’t wait to make it! Happy holidays!
Yay for Christmas vacation! Safe travels!
Your dog is really cute! Good for your for making homemade gifts, that’s a wagon I really need to jump on. Your granola looks delish, all the ingredients I love!
