It’s been a while, but I’m glad to back. After attending Blog Brûlée, I realized how much I missed being a part of The Recipe Redux. I went through a funk with the blog and wasn’t being consistent with blogging and posting my monthly recipe posts with the group that I had to step down. That little separation lasted too long IMO, but let’s put the past behind us, eh?

Every month on the 22nd, I’ll be teaming up with the Recipe Redux and posting a recipe based on the theme/challenge of the month. You can also check out the fabulous bloggers’ recipes in this group by clicking their images below. This month theme is “Spooky Spices” aka that spice that’s sitting back in the spice cabinet that you don’t know what to do with.

I chose to use turmeric {and ginger}. While I add turmeric to savory dishes like rice and stew, I’ve never added it to a traditionally sweet recipe. So enter my favorite granola recipe. I tweaked the base of this recipe to include some of my fall favorites— maple, pecans, and hazelnuts and cut out A LOT of the sugar, which I’m sure you’ll appreciate. The turmeric adds a gorgeous golden yellow hue to the granola and ginger takes this savory granola up a notch! I’m in love.

      Sooo– I’m glad you said you add it to your smoothies! Ever since I made this recipe, I’ve been dreaming up a smoothie concoction and wondered how that would taste. Making that this week!
