Welcome, June.
One of my favorite months!!! Simple. Warm. Festive.
I did not sleep well last night at all – I tossed and turned. I think really I was just too excited to get up and eat Lynda’s Granola.
Pablo and Lynda shared the recipe for the most delicious and addicting granola ever with us. Because we don’t have a Lynda at our store, we’re 99% sure we’re going to call it Cville Cluster! Because it’s all about the clusters..
I piled a bunch on top of a cup of greek yogurt and a banana and topped it off with a dollop of Smucker’s Natural.
I promise there is yogurt underneath!
It’s an early start for me – headed in to the bakery on my bike. Hope I make it!
It might be dark by the time I get back home! But I’ll see you at lunch.
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
June 1, 2011 at 6:38 amHave a good day at the bakery! I do love June – the perfect summer month.
Katie @ cooklaughmove says
June 1, 2011 at 6:39 amYUM! Looks good to me!
Baking N Books says
June 1, 2011 at 6:39 amNow – can you share Lynda’s recipe with us?! 🙂 (for some reason my comments aren’t showing – is there a problem with them?).
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
June 1, 2011 at 6:40 amI agree– in fact, I think June might be my *very favorite* month!! 🙂
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
June 1, 2011 at 6:45 amThose clusters do look DELICIOUS!
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
June 1, 2011 at 6:50 amOh that granola looks delish. Enjoy your day!
Marina says
June 1, 2011 at 6:51 amClusters are my favorites, I always search for them in my granola bags 😀
Have a good productive day!
Molly @ RDexposed says
June 1, 2011 at 6:53 amSimple is such a good descriptor for June! I love how there are no holidays, no weddings (this year), cookouts, and sunshine. Perfect.
Kate says
June 1, 2011 at 6:57 amWhy haven’t you tried the incredible sweet potato butter or dulce de leche from feast yet?
KathEats says
June 1, 2011 at 7:21 amBecause I didn’t know about them yet!?
Nicole says
June 1, 2011 at 6:58 amI had the same exact breakfast, sub blueberries for the bananas. Granola clusters are the best- our bag from the Farmers Market has all huge chunks in it… its like eating cookies.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
June 1, 2011 at 6:58 amI love granola clusters too – especially the Nature’s Path Ancient Grains granola ones! June is one of my favourite months as well. Even thought it’s hoooooooottttt, I’m not complaining because it seems like it took spring/summer forever to get here!
KathEats says
June 1, 2011 at 7:24 amLOVE Ancient Grains but have no Costco!
Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says
June 1, 2011 at 7:01 amomg I started drooling before I even read what it was that was piled inside your bowl – LOVE crunchy clusters! Kashi Honey Almond Flax cereal has the BEST, massive clusters. Happy June!
Krystina (Organically Me) says
June 1, 2011 at 7:01 amClusters are my FAVORITE part of granola.
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
June 1, 2011 at 7:05 amThat granola looks amazing! Have a great day!
Caitlin says
June 1, 2011 at 7:09 am1.) I LOVE June!
2.) Your bkfst looks phenomonal…as it always does 🙂
Have a wonderful start to June!
Marisa @ Loser for Life says
June 1, 2011 at 7:11 amMmmm…clusters are the best part of granola!
Have a great day at the bakery, Kath!
Stephanie @ StephSnacks says
June 1, 2011 at 7:11 amMmmm you can never go wrong with granola clusters!
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
June 1, 2011 at 7:12 amI LOVE granola was big chunks (clusters is a way better word haha) – it’s one of the factors of whether or not I’ll get that granola aaagain.
Liv @ The Salty n' Sweet says
June 1, 2011 at 7:14 amWow so awesome of Lynda to share her recipe with you 🙂 I can’t wait to drop by and grab a bag of the granola you’re always raving about!
Katie says
June 1, 2011 at 7:21 amAre you sure you can’t share the recipe? My kids and I have almost polished off our last 3 batches of granola. They love making (and eating) it! Also, 4 1/2 year old son needs the address of your Great Harvest so he “knows how to find it”. My kids are ready to pack up and come visit but it’s a long drive from Nebraska. Meanwhile, we make frequent trips to our local GH (DD wanted to know if they were open Memorial Day). Enjoy your day at the bakery. Everything looks wonderful, a result of all of your hard work. Thanks for brightening up my mornings with your posts.
KathEats says
June 1, 2011 at 12:14 pmSorry, I can’t!
Mary Frances says
June 1, 2011 at 3:32 pmI guess that is why when I was trying to click on the blue highlighted name of ‘Cville Cluster’ it did not take me to the Recipage link with the recipe–thought something was wrong with my computer. Guess I’m not the only one who was hoping to get the recipe…hope it is a big seller for you! How exciting in your final countdown and being able to share it with family, friends, your wonderful staff and Great Harvest mentors. Have fun…and try to sleep so you can be 100%. LOL
Allison (Have it Your Weigh) says
June 1, 2011 at 7:29 amHappy June! After reading so much about how good Lynda’s granola is I’m dying to try some! So excited that you’ll be selling it at your store.
Karen says
June 1, 2011 at 7:29 amAhhh..I spy my all time favorite blue buddha bowl!
Safe riding, Kath!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
June 1, 2011 at 7:32 amJune IS the perfect summer month, totally agree! Have a good day!
Hope says
June 1, 2011 at 7:32 amYum! Your breakfast look delicious! I love the June placemat! Have a great time at the bakery today! Good luck with everything! 🙂
Dee says
June 1, 2011 at 7:38 amI am so excited for you guys! And I totally cannot wait to come visit and finally taste all the foods you’ve been raving about! 😉
Marissa says
June 1, 2011 at 7:43 amWow, thanks for reminding me that today’s the first day of June! I completely forgot. Hah, isn’t it ironic that the first *real* day of summer is the first time I eat hot oats in forever? That granola looks delicious, though–I made my own super clumpy granola for the first time this weekened! SO GOOD.
Khushboo says
June 1, 2011 at 7:48 amSometimes breakfasts with minimal ingredients are as ( or more) satisfying than those which are totally pimped out! Pb+granola+banana+yogurt–> all my favorite foods in one bowl!
Amy says
June 1, 2011 at 7:49 amI feel like the only person in creation who DOESN’T like granola clusters. I like my granola loose!
Super excited that it’s June, too. Good luck with your last few days!!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
June 1, 2011 at 7:58 amGranola is all about the big clusters — those are the best!
[email protected] Flying ONION says
June 1, 2011 at 8:07 amThe big clusters are what granola is all about. This looks wonderful! 😀
jenna says

KathEats says
June 1, 2011 at 12:15 pmYup!
Cait's Plate says
June 1, 2011 at 8:15 amI’m totally with you on the clusters. They definitely do rule. Whenever I get a new box of Kashi Go Lean Crunch the first thing I do is comb through the box and pull out the big clusters to pop in my mouth 🙂
Anastasia says
June 1, 2011 at 8:20 amI love June too! I just love summer to be honest. I can’t get enough of the warm weather.
JenATX says
June 1, 2011 at 8:21 ami dislike when granola comes with no clusters 🙁 where’s the crunch! cheers to clusters
Rachel @ Grateful Girl Goes Gluten Free says
June 1, 2011 at 8:23 amClusters are so much better than crumbly granola! Happy june!
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
June 1, 2011 at 8:33 amoh my that does look lovely! You’re so right that it’s all about the clusters! 🙂
Good luck today! 🙂
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says

Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
June 1, 2011 at 8:38 amI can’t believe it’s already June!! Time’s flying! AND that you’re so close to opening your bakery doors!!

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says

Johanna B says
June 1, 2011 at 8:48 amWelcome June. I love that you hung your grandmother’s artwork in the bakery.
Lindsay says
June 1, 2011 at 8:49 amThat breakfast looks amazing! All of yours always do! 🙂

Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) says
June 1, 2011 at 9:48 amJune IS my fave month. It’s summertime and it’ smy bday month!
Big clusters are the best. Why eat pulverized particles when you can have big clusters 🙂
Kate says

June 1, 2011 at 10:04 amIt ‘s almost lunch time and those clusters are making me hungry! I love your June napkin, where did you get it and is there one for every month?
KathEats says
June 1, 2011 at 12:18 pmYes, every month. It was a gift for my mom
Natalia - a side of simple says

Sarah says

Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
June 1, 2011 at 10:25 amLike actually. The clusters are kiiind of the best part. Slash I will come allll the way to your great harvest JUST to taste some of that granola. It’s okay that we can’t see the yog. No shame 😉

Joanne says
June 1, 2011 at 11:01 amThe addition of the banana and Natural Spread really makes the dish look great. Nice work.
Jen says
June 1, 2011 at 11:14 amClusters make the world go round!!!

kris (everyday oats) says

Michelle says
June 1, 2011 at 11:56 amI’ve been rocking the yogurt/granola thing lately for lunch lately. You’re my inspiration!
Isabel says
June 1, 2011 at 12:18 pmHi Kath, what type of bike do you have? And where did you get it? I’ve been looking for a commuter bike. Thanks!
KathEats says
June 1, 2011 at 12:36 pmTrek 7.2 from a local bike store. Love it!
Kate says

Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
June 1, 2011 at 12:28 pmmmm I love clusters in granola. YUMM
Angel7 says
June 1, 2011 at 2:59 pmI like June, too! Being that we live in a state that is deprived of sun for most of the year–our winter months are so long–it is so nice to get some Vitamin D and endorphins 🙂 from it during the summer months!
I like the name “Cville Cluster.”

Rachel says
June 1, 2011 at 4:06 pmIs the granola gluten-free? And will you have any other gluten-free treats? 🙂 I’m always looking for gluten-free options at new places. I think I’m coming to C’ville this weekend, I definitely want to try and come by to see the grand opening! So happy for you guys!
KathEats says
June 1, 2011 at 8:59 pmIt’s not gluten-free because we use oats. We also are a wheat-based bakery, so it’s extremely difficult for us to do gluten-free recipes. I’m sorry, but I hope you’ll still stop in!
Hannah says
June 1, 2011 at 6:09 pmThat looks amazing! I love dense thick mixes 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
June 1, 2011 at 6:57 pmDarn, I wish you could share the recipe on your blog! I guess I’ll just have to come to Cville to try it. 😉
