Wildly Addictive Peanut Butter Granola
Very Good 4.3/5

A store near my daughter's house in California has peanut butter granola in the bulk food section. But I couldn't find it anywhere near my house in Illinois, so I found this recipe online and made my own. Now I'm glad I couldn't find it at the store. It's cheaper and I can control the ingredients that are used.

I love soup, but my boys don't. We compromise by making healthy, hearty and filling soups (that are still low in calories and high in nutrients). Personally I would prefer to omit the cheese, but I add it for the kids' sake. This is one of the things I can compromise on - sometimes. :)
