apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Editor: Libby, we like mailing granola and other breakfast treats. Granola isn't too heavy, and it keeps for a long time if stored properly. It's also a welcome treat for college students dashing off to class at the last minute without breakfast! What about a collection of homemade granola, granola bars, and similar things? Here are a few recipes:

• Recipe: Crunchy Granola Bars
• Watch Out! Dangerously Addictive Olive Oil Granola
• Dried Fig and Nut Bars
• Copycat Recipe: DIY Nutri-Grain Fruit and Nut Bars

Whatever you send, cushion your package with fresh popped popcorn, inside loose plastic bags, for an extra treat.

Readers, any other ideas for Libby?
