Holiday Baking

I did all my shopping early for our Christmas baking. We had several recipes planned for neighbor gifts. But as Christmas approached, I didn't feel like giving sweets. At our house we were already at the point of tossing some of the goodies gifted to us because we had reached our sugar limit. I thought others might be in the same boat so I changed the plan and decided on a healthier approach. I thought New Years might be a better time to give a healthy gift, so we also waited a week. I decided to make granola and delivered it with whole pomegranates. We love to eat greek yogurt with granola and pomegranate seeds for breakfast and I'm sure most people would love it too if they tried it. I think I might have myself a new tradition, and a much less stressful one. This way I can enjoy Christmas cookie baking with the kids without worrying about whether the cookies are pretty enough. It's a win-win! Happy New Year!
