occasional granola review: Cascadian Farm -- maple brown sugar

I was trying to think of something to blog about today...then I opened a new box of granola. Oh, right. One of the qualities I look for in a cereal/granola is the initial scent. When I open the bag, am I going to sniff right away what corresponds to the name on the box. For instance, today: big whiff of maple. There is no doubt as to what I'll be getting with this granola. I also like the large clusters. Maybe the maple has something to do with that, too.
