Flax Pecan Granola

I’m always surprised at how different granola can be from one recipe to the next. Even when recipes appear to be very similar, sometimes one or two small changes give the granola a whole different character.  In Flax Pecan Granola, a generous serving of pecans and flax makes for a rich, sweet, bakery-worthy granola.

I like pears, but never had much interest in poaching them until I saw the “Pear and Almond Tart” on Epicurious. It’s a pear almond tart composed of a buttery crust, almond flavored filling, and poached pears that are halved and sliced then arranged in a spoke-like pattern in the center.
