A bowl of granola, yogurt & berries served in a ceramic bowl and eaten with a metal spoon.
Such basic creature comforts become an absolute treat while on the road; especially when you’re used to a breakfast of instant oats consumed from a tiny cooking pot with a plastic spoon. I present, courtesy of my lovely host Ann from Edible Education, an extra tasty granola recipe. Nourish your body and your soul!

1 c. coconut flakes

The School Food Tour 
SO DELICIOUS! Thanks again Ann and Edible Education for your yummy breakfasts and hospitality!
I’ll be making this this weekend. Your mentioning of your typical breakfast got me wondering more about your life on the road. In between stops and schools you’ve put thousands of miles behind you; what are those days like that are just you and the road?
What are you eating? Are you camping, sleeping on couches, not sleeping at all? How is your gear, body, and enthusiasm holding up? I would be interesting to get a little “behind the scenes” look at the SFT.
But anyway, it looks like things are going swimmingly. Keep up the fine work.
