Crafting Wholesome Mornings: Granola and Sourdough Banana Blueberry Bread Recipes
Hey Everyone,
As a health-conscious homemaker, my recipe for breakfast brings us not just recipes but a delightful journey towards nourishing our mornings. In a recent video, I shared insights into my health journey, accompanied by recipes for homemade granola and sourdough banana blueberry bread.
A Health Odyssey: Brandy’s Recovery and Herbal Concoction
In the video I shared my recent health journey, emphasizing the importance of natural remedies. Battling an illness, I incorporated homemade Elderberry and Goldenrod tinctures into my routine. I can’t scientifically prove it, but I do attribute my successful recovery to the antiviral properties of these herbs and plants. I also think they helped me steer clear of secondary infections. I had a diagnosis of viral bronchitis, which brought on asthma, and my doctor recommended a nightly “herbal concoction,” paving the way for my holistic recovery. I believe it did work.
Dive into Wholesome Breakfasts: Granola Unveiled
Ingredients:
- Rolled oats
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- Almonds

- Tart cherries
- Coconut oil
- Wildflower honey
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, almonds, and raw pumpkin seeds.
- Add Cherries: Introduce tart cherries for a burst of flavor.

This granola recipe stands out for its simplicity and adaptability. My use of local honey adds a touch of community spirit, and the customizable ingredients make it a nutritious breakfast option. Plus, I think getting honey locally helps you because the bees are around the same plants you are. It can benefit you and help you power through the spring and summer plant allergies, imho.
