Food Blogger Perk: My kitchen has been smelling like this Nutty Pumpkin Spice Granola for the whole month of August.

 The aroma from this granola is so dreamy, it pretty much replaces a pumpkin spice candle!

Yes yes, a perk indeed!

I have always liked my granola a little nutty (give me all the good healthy fats).  And since my oldest daughter Claire has taken to a new and totally left field liking to nuts, this mama is basically trying to put them in EVERYTHING she can possibly think of, haha! How sneaky, I mean smart…can a mom be?! Thankfully, this insanely good Nutty Pumpkin Spice Granola was a huge hit! So I’m going to call that a mom win which gives me a good excuse to keep up with this granola baking, pumpkin spice candle smelling hobby. 🙂

Because how can you not love the taste and aroma of toasted nuts covered in honey and cinnamon?! Pure breakfast (or anytime really) bliss I tell you!

Thank you Nutty Pumpkin Spice Power Granola for ushering in the glorious smell of fall, filling my belly with all the good super foods and for being my toddlers latest food obsession.

I will take ! Applause all around!
