Pumpkin Spice Granola

Pumpkin Spice Granola with Dried Cranberries and Fresh Pomegranate Seeds

After countless malasadas from the famous Leonard’s Bakery in Hawaii,

(photo source here because my brilliant husband erased mine!)

and ridiculously sweet, but delicious doughnuts from Voodoo Donuts in Portland, result in my utter need to go on a diet.

All of this combined with this weekend in Sin City where I can guarantee that my liver will be working in overdrive during my attempt to be anything but sober in order to deal with looking at men with un-naturally large muscles and tiny speedos. My husband, the aspiring *natural* body builder is dragging me to Las Vegas for Mr. Olympia (body builder olympics). I swear, the things I do for love.

Now on to more appetizing pictures, lol!

Anyway, so starting Monday I will be cleansing my body of all toxins. I thought I would start with this delicious pumpkin spice granola to kick start my day. What I love about granola is that it is so filling and keeps me full and energized until early afternoon. The kids love it too!
