This last week, we started in on a project in our basement. Currently, our basement is half finished, and we wanted to lighten up the unfinished part by doing a little painting. I enticed my parents (who are quite handy) to come and help by providing food in return.
We have more work to go, but it looks soooo good already! I am so thankful for the help of my parents, especially my dad, who gave of his Father’s Day weekend to help. Such a testament to his character, servant heart and for that I am so appreciative.
We tried quite a few new recipes last week, and I hope to post a few this week. We also enjoyed old favorites, like homemade granola!
And, I can’t seem to get enough of this raspberry rhubarb jam! It is amazing on top of yogurt, ice cream, waffles, and a fresh slice of wheat buttermilk bread. Yum.

I love granola too! I have some in bags on top of our fridge that I was trying to find a nice container to better store it in. I looked at Target, Walmart, Kmart and so far everything is the wrong size or shape. But, your containers that you have your granola in are exactly what I was envisioning. Do you mind sharing the brand or where you bought them? I have been looking everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI looked for a long time too, and finally found these at IKEA. I've also used a tall, skinny Oxo container too. The price is right at IKEA though, I think they were less than $3.
