Last week's Salon Kitchen Challenge made the best of Tax Day with wallet-friendly recipes for everyone who's straining under the weight of their yearly dues. Winner Lucy Mercer gave unto Caesar what is Caesar's with a mouth-watering shrimp and avocado Caesar salad. Read her post at Salon and check out Francis Lam's roundup of other great entries.
Now, this week's challenge:
"With Earth Day around the bend, my thoughts turn to the hippies, the poor hippies. So maligned! Why does everyone hate the hippies?And you know what else gets a bad rap? Granola. "Hippie food," people call it with a sneer, cheeseburger in one hand and Hummer keys in the other.
But you know what? I love granola. I love the crunch, the sweetness, the toasted grains and the nuts. I love it so much, in fact, that I just got hungry for some while writing this and just stole a granola bar from my roommate. (Sorry, Rach.)
So this week, in honor of the poor hippies, in honor of our poor Earth, the challenge is to share with us your best granola recipes. But in the interest of peace, love and an open mind, recipes for other cold cereals count, too -- what's muesli, anyway? -- and so do ones that simply include granola.
Be sure to tag your posts: SKC granola"
Blog your submission under your real name by 10 a.m. ET Monday, April 26th. Francis will announce the winners Tuesday the 27th on Salon.
