The other day the UrbanToddler invited a few girlfriends over to bake holiday goodies with.
On the menu: Martha Stewart's Chocolate Gingerbread Cake and Curtis Stone's Home Made Granola.
It was amazing how nicely the girls worked together, all in their matching sour cherry aprons.
Ms. Stewart's Gingerbread cake left something to be desired.
But Curtis' granola is a home run every time, even though we didn't take into consideration the longer baking time given the bulk quantities.... How can you go wrong in taste when you have a mixture of butter, oats, spices, nuts and dried fruit?
The girls added a generous amount of orange zest to the granola recipe which was a fantastic idea. If you try it, feel free to add less butter and sugar than in the recipe. It still turns out as delicious and special.
We'll definitely do this again next year, and hopefully with more little friends now that we have a hang of it...
