showing up with breakfast

PSA if, like me, you’re wanting to make food for a friend doing chemo, grieving, welcoming a new baby, etc: breakfast can be a sleeper hit. Homemade granola—my mom taught me this long ago. I have that basic formula so automated that I always have the ingredients around and never even measure. It’s endlessly forgiving. With yogurt and whatever-fruit compote (I just did this plum one; raw stone fruits are often disappointing but as compote, yum.) These egg bites, which freeze really well! So good. And smoothie packs in those sturdy reusable zipper bags you can get at Target etc. All of these are easy enough to make for my own family and my friend at the same time.
