Inspiring Jackalo Family: The Garofanos
Jackalo is inspired by many kids and families that are filled with an adventurous spirit, love of the outdoors, and creativity. One family in particular stands out in my mind as a real inspiration: Tara Garofano, her husband Tony, and their two kids Vita and Finch.

Simple and sweet granola bars
Every once in a while, I need a sweet treat. I try to keep my baking on the healthier side, but I’m not opposed to butter and sugars when needed.
