Crispy Quinoa Granola - Low FODMAP, gluten free, dairy free, veganThe past couple of days in Indy have been sunny, not too humid and WONDERFUL! I am so thankful that my time off before I begin my internship is like this because that means I am spending TONS of time walking the dogs, playing with them in the backyard and just being outside :) I love it.

When it’s raining, it’s really hard for me to spend time outside.  I’ve tried bundling in rain gear and trudging through, but even the DOGS act like they don’t want to be outside.  So, instead of being outside I create recipes…and this Crispy Quinoa Granola is the fruit of a day of rainy recipe testing.

It’s also really simple to make, which I love because that means I can make it on days even when it’s not rainy and I have a little less time than I do now 😉
