I am home! We had a wonderful time in beautiful British Columbia (I will share a few pics on my next post). The scenery is just breathtaking! We got back late last night, and this morning I woke up to an empty fridge. Don’t you just hate that when you get back from vacation? I didn’t even have cereal! I decided to make some chocolate cherry muesli with oats, pecans, sliced almonds, walnuts, chocolate chips, dried cranberries and dried cherries. I love experimenting with different ingredients, but this one is my all-time favorite! If you have never heard of muesli before, it is a popular European breakfast (originally from Switzerland). You can also eat it anytime during the day, or as a light dessert with fresh fruit and yogurt. I haven’t seen it in American grocery stores, but it is commonly found in the grocery stores in Germany. I prefer to make my own at home, because I usually have the ingredients on hand and it saves money!
Back to the huge amount of laundry I have to do today, and unpacking… ahh! It is good to be back home, though, and I can’t wait to catch up on my foodie friends’ blogs and see what you have all been up to in your kitchens (sorry I haven’t been able to keep up since I have been gone all week) 🙂
- 2 cups organic rolled oats
- ¼ cup dried cherries
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix.
- Store in an airtight container.
So glad to hear you had a great trip. Even when you are tired, you still make inspiring dishes – I love that about you.
Welcome back!
Welcome home! Your muesli looks amazing! Love the combination of chocolate and cherry! Yum!
It sounds like you had a lovely holiday and I’m looking forward to seer your images. The worst part about coming home is that you always have to head straight out to the shops to re-stock the fridge. I do love the sound of cherries and chocolates in my muesli xx
Welcome back! Muesli is the perfect get back to work morning food. It is almost like a dessert with the chocolate and cherries. Take care, BAM
I just love muesli! It’s silly expensive to buy in the store so making your own is definitely the way too go.
Welcome home, and so happy to hear you had a nice trip.
