Fresh: Gainful Granola

When Anne Casey's husband got laid off last year, she decided—with friends' encouragement—to make her famous granola in a commercial kitchen and sell it at the farmer's market.

The all-natural, whole-grain snack, which comes in orange-almond-cashew and orange-almond-cashew-coconut flavors, has been selling out and sustaining her family financially.

Annie's Edibles, $8 at Grand Food Center in Winnetka and Glencoe, The Bent Fork in Highwood, FoodLove Catering in Lake Forest, The Village Market and Peg Ann Kompany in Lake Bluff, and the Lake Bluff farmer's market.
