yummy from scratch



Hey Ki! Your blog on cooking inspired me to share....

For some reason I am always surprised when things I've made in the kitchen look and taste good. I guess I just got a late start with cooking, and Kris still sometimes has to rescue my attempts from disaster.

Yesterday, I made yogurt in my Salton yogurt machine (every yogurt lover should have one of these!) that mom brought down a couple years ago. Awesome! I make it every week or so, and I have the recipe dialed in so it's just the right thickness and level of tartness. I'm sure there are ways to flavor it, but we just eat it with fresh fruit or...

Granola! Vanilla granola with sesame seeds and honey and fresh scraped coconut from our trees. Oh. man. The recipe is from allrecipes.com and is just called vanilla granola and I highly recommend it. (sorry I can't figure out if there is a way to make hyperlinks with the Safari browser....)

I'm hungry now and the clear ocean swishing softly out there is making me thirsty too. Lunchtime! And I made oatmeal raisin cookie dough to bake afterwards. Milk anyone? ;)
