What can we say about ourselves? Well, for starters, we love granola! Hi, this is Brian and Reed and we are the granola geeks behind this site. It’s a given that we love to eat, and we are probably in good company. More importantly though is that we love to try new foods, and when it comes to cereals and snacks it is no different. Discovering granola is one of the best things that has happened with our breakfast meals. Not only is it one of the “quick” foods that doesn’t compete with our busy lives but it is full of goodness and is just fun to eat. We love to discover new granola recipes, especially those tried and true - homemade, handed down from generation to generation, kept in the family, Grandma’s specialty - kind of granola recipes.

Two of Brian's earliest memories with granola...

• Growing up with my Mom making large batches of granola for our family, primarily as a breakfast and also as a healthy snack when we got home from school. I couldn't get enough of this stuff! Of course, it didn't go far with our large family and so we had to ration it most of the time. Here is my Mom's granola recipe.
• When serving on a camp staff at a Boy Scout camp, we were often treated to some old fashioned granola made by the wonderful cooking staff there. A big bowl of this granola (if I was lucky I got to have two bowls) was such a welcome treat in the morning and it always gave me plenty of energy for the work projects and dialy assignments I had at camp. This granola recipe came from our camp director, Joe. I am still in the process of tracking this recipe down.

It’s great when you like something so much that it doesn’t seem like work. I guess that’s true about the work we put into this site to find some granola treasures to share with you. It is our goal to share our love for granola with you. By adding great granola recipes, granola facts and traditions, we hope to have a resource of granola information that you and your family will love and benefit from.

Please let us know if you have anything to share with the rest of us. We welcome your feedback and hope you’ll let us know if you like our granola community. Have fun and enjoy all the great granola discoveries here at GranolaGranola.com!

Take care of yourself,

Brian and Reed
