I know, I know, this Crunchy Banana Bread Granola is my 3rd granola recipe on Valerie’s Keepers! Why so many granola recipes? Because I just love granolas, that’s why! I have it every morning so obviously I have a few favorite recipes. I’ve told you before that once you start making your own granola, you…

Bring breakfast to another level by adding a fun twist to your usual french toast with this delicious Peanut Butter & Banana Stuffed French Toast recipe.

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Granola
Start this Holiday Season on the right foot with this Homemade Pumpkin Pie Granola. The spiciness of cinnamon, ground ginger and cloves really bring warmth to this delicious granola. I love the addition of puffed rice cereal in this recipe, it makes this granola super crunchy and a bit lighter too. For me, there is no better way to…
Raspberry Oatmeal Bread
Start your day right with this delicious Rasberry Oatmeal Bread. Perfect for those “on the go” mornings, snacking at school or a quick bite at the office.

Huevos Rancheros
For my first post of the year, I find these Huevos Rancheros very appropriate: first of all, they are my favorite thing right now, just to think of them makes me salivate, and second of all, they’re the perfect antidote to winter with their freshness, zestiness and bright colors. Believe me, biting into these many layers of deliciousness—the crunchy…

Strawberry Jam with Lemon
Chloé recently went through a strawberry phase, well, a frenzy really, and I never bought so many strawberries in all my life! But hey, who’s complaining? They’re in season, local, fresh, juicy and sweet as can be! A big change from the tasteless stuff that we get the rest of the year here in Montreal. So my fridge…
Muesli Bars
I started making my own Muesli bars a few years ago and never went back to buying them. They are really easy to make and much tastier than most of the commercial products out there which are loaded with awful things like refined sugar, palm oil and ingredients you can’t even pronounce! Like Michael Pollan, the food writer, says: “Don’t…
