Team member Charlotte shared this recipe with us in honor of her dad. She says, “My paternal grandmother is Swiss, so every few years we got to go to Switzerland, where my dad would eat muesli whenever he could find it. It was always disappointing to him that the muesli you get in the U.S. is dry; his idea of muesli is that it’s hearty and creamy and full of fresh fruit and nuts. Finally we decided to make our own.”
The recipe took on more meaning recently, when Charlotte’s dad was recovering from major surgery and needed to regain his strength. Muesli was one of the foods the family kept stocked during his recovery. “I’m particularly aware, going into this Father’s Day, of how lucky I am that my dad is OK and recovering well, and making this recipe is a way for me to do something that feels useful in what’s otherwise been a bit of a scary and out-of-control time.”
