The Best Hot Honey Granola

Today, I found myself slipping into that dark rabbit hole of grief. I anticipated it as this month marks 10 years since I last held my son alive. We spent a few fun-filled days in Charleston, SC. before hugging each other good-bye. We had plans to reunite for Easter. He was killed just a week shy of the holiday. Anniversaries are rough. They sting. My advice: Get a strategy to deal in advance.

Digging in the dirt is what helps me. Itโ€™s my favorite exercise. Thinking about what to plant, starting some seeds indoors and attending a neighborhood gardening class help to snap me out of the low. Spring arrived just in time. What's your plan?

Todayโ€™s plan also includes some baking. It's my go-to therapy along with gardening. This recipe is a simple granola with a bee sting twist. Have you tried hot honey? It sure has a kick and makes the best hot honey granola. Granola is typically a combination of oats, nuts and seeds with the addition of some dried fruit. I also like to toss in a bit of coconut, but you can do any combination of ingredients you like. To make it more interesting, I added some atypical spices and hot honey. For this recipe I used Mike's Hot Honey.
