Chai Tea Granola
Wake up with a delicious granola flavored with tea and spices I'm a recycling fiend. I may not hold any records, and I'm sure there's room for improvement, but anything that has a recycling symbol on it, I'll do my darn best to make sure it makes it into the can.

I'm lucky I don't bake with a KitchenAid mixer regularly. Did you watch this season's The Great British Baking Show? One of the contestants, Ruby, broke the glass bowl of a mixer. I'm sure that would ...
