Spirit Rock Granola

This granola has been a breakfast staple for many years at Spirit Rock. It’s possible that over 100 Spirit Rock cooks have prepared it, and now you can too! Improvise with the recipe by adding a ½ cup of one or two types of nuts to the mixture or tossing the baked and cooled granola with your favorite dried fruit. The recipe doubles nicely, so you can prepare some for yourself and also a friend.

Fire Swamp Provision Focaccia Panzanella

We get amazing bread from Alex at Fire Swamp Provisions, along with incredible Genovese basil, Early Girl tomatoes, and Painted Serpent cucumbers from Full Belly Farms at the Thursday Marin Market during the summer. We use these fresh ingredients to create this salad every Friday. The key to this recipe is sourcing the best bread and vegetables available in your area; with a simple recipe like this, quality ingredients make all the difference. We toast the bread, let the tomatoes and basil marinate the cucumbers, and toss everything together with a vinaigrette just before serving. The varied textures—from crispy to almost soggy bread—add an extra layer of delight to the dish.
