The Perfect Pair: Nesting Bowls & Granola

We’ve had an Instagram crush on Lindsay at Sprinkles For Breakfast for quite some time. Her adorable aesthetic and easy to follow recipes make it hard not to fall in love with her work. So, we were thrilled when she created a special recipe just for us! Styled with our very own Muhanga Nesting Bowls, we introduce Birthday Cake Granola. Perfect for a late summer picnic, mid-week treat, or of course, a birthday!

As an added bonus, we’re offering a 25% discount on our Muhanga Nesting Bowl Set through 8/27, using code PeopleWhoAreTogether25. This cooperative also happens to be the lovely makers of these baskets, and you can read more about their work here. But for now, enjoy the treats!
