The Best Recipe for Honey Granola is to follow.

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. It'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?

Today's plan also includes some baking. It's my go-to therapy along with gardening. This recipe for honey granola is a simple one 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. I even make a pie crust granola. To make this recipe more interesting, I add some atypical spices and hot honey. Have you tried Mike's Hot Honey?
