I used to be the one that tried to feed my kids "healthy" but being the average American... really fell short. When they were 8 & 12, I became very ill, changed to a VERY healthy diet of whole grains, beans, vegetables, fruit and... got better. <BR/><BR/>I Meg Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052363163218543818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22952006.post-42747271445820813692008-02-29T06:44:00.000+01:002008-02-29T06:44:00.000+01:00We love granola and this recipe looks worth a try....We love granola and this recipe looks worth a try.

I think eating healthy is not about a fad it IS a lifestyle - only then one does not feel it is tedious. What people do not understand with just a tiny bit of effort everyone can jump in.<BR/><BR/>Arundati, while I do not cook every single day I really appreciate the people who do so. Meeta K.

After moving to Peru, I have found a healthier, more balanced lifestyle and learned that I can make things like juice, granola, sauces and baked goods from "real" ingredients!

But it takes time to get there. Good luck to your friend. Goji berries add colour and flavour to granolas. Meeta, I love the wood tones you have used. Goes well with granola.
