The Veggie Gal

As my time as a blogger has gone by I have learned a few things from looking at other blogs.  Photographs matter!  I am not a professional photographer, artist or writer so I have had to learn how to do those things as I have gone along.  I enjoy cooking healthy meals, sharing them with the world and am now enjoying learning how to take nice photos of what I make. One day I might go and take some photography classes to make them even better but for now I have at least learned about better lighting and will go from there.  I have to say I was a bit embarrassed to have some of the photos from the beginning of my blog on here but realized that it is ok to look backwards, learn from what mistakes you have made then move forward.  With that thought I decided to take some action and reshoot those outdated photos and update them and the recipe if needed.

I have been updating photos here and there for a while but just did 4 in the last week so I decided to make this a post so you all can see how tasty these dishes look.  The old photos might have made some readers just skip that recipe and not give it a second look but maybe these will entice you enough to give them a try.  Our family enjoys them very much and I know many more will too.  Each post of course has more photos but these are one of each.

I LOVE feedback and want to know how things go for you so let me know what you think!

When I make my homemade granola I usually have to make a double batch because my family and I love it so much the it disappears quickly.  I also make a double batch so that I will be able to eat it as cereal, a snack and to make a delicious granola yogurt parfait too.

I love these parfaits as a quick, delicious and high powered breakfast but also as a quick snack when I am hungry and need lasting energy for a busy day. I think it is best mixed with vanilla soy yogurt but you could get creative and mix it with a blueberry or raspberry yogurt then mix that same fresh berry in with it to make it even healthier.
