      Pinning! Excellent pick this month and a perfect post for summer. Maybe to top yogurt? Or really, better yet, ice cream!

      So much fun to discover that you had my blog this past month!! Skillet Granola is simply the BEST! And definitely a yummy recipe for the "dog days of summer" as no oven heat is required! 🙂

      I love that this doesn't heat up your house with the oven! I had planned on making granola yesterday and never got around to it, so maybe instead, I'll give this one a try. Great pick this month 🙂

      Wow, this is such an awesomely cool idea. I love making my own granola, but I agree it can be a bit unpleasant heating up the oven in the middle of summer. I never would have thought to do it in a skillet, but it's absolutely brilliant and I will definitely be trying it.
