Happy New Year! We hope this joyous and relaxing holiday season has recharged you. Every year brings new adventures and many possibilities and opportunities. As you conquer the year ahead, we encourage you to take time to prioritize cultivating joy in your day alongside accomplishing goals or tasks.
Incorporating little things, like a warm cup of your favorite tea or a fun playlist, can bring life into the daily routine and make it a great year ahead!
We, of course, love to bake and enjoy sharing our granola and recipes with you all. Our cranberry orange blondies are a great treat to share with family and friends. The orange and cranberry flavor combination is a match made in heaven. This recipe can easily also convert into a breakfast blondie by cutting back on the sugar. No matter the occasion you choose, we hope it brings a little joy to your day!
