A collaboration years in the making with my dear friend Michelle Pusateri of Nana Joes Granola!
Say hello the first to market waffle cone granola blend! This Chef’s Blend is inspired by the delicate, golden crisp of a classic pizzelle cookie and tastes like pure joy in every bite.
All the flavors of my Paleo Pizelle/waffle cone recipe that I created almost a decade ago for my husband’s birthday. He asked for a “drumstick” ice cream treat, so I had to make it happen! That pizelle became a mini cone that eventually became that Paleo drumstick he asked for. Seen here to the right, the original treats on his birthday! All the nostalgic flavors of a pizelle/waffle cone and a beloved recipe I’ve made at trade shows, whipped up often for family and made dozens as gifts around the holidays. Michelle Pusateri, the granola goddess herself, captured those same warm n’ toasty flavors in a granola that delivers the perfect balance of crunch and nostalgia in every bite
“Growing up, my mom gave me full freedom in the kitchen—never mind the messes (and there were plenty!), she always cleaned up with a smile. What a gift that was: the freedom to explore, create, and fall in love with food. I’ve always been kitchen curious, eager to learn, and most of all, to feed the people I love.
This granola is a celebration of that love. Inspired by the flavors in my Paleo Pizzelle recipe—created for my husband’s 50th birthday—and brought to life through the magical hands of Michelle Pusateri and NJG, the Granola Goddess herself. Together, our foodie hearts dreamed up something we hope feels as special to you as it does to us”.
Collaborating with Michelle P. and Nana Joes Granola has truly been a dream—and I like to think my angel mom is smiling down, proud and touched by this full-circle moment. Hope you enjoy every cluster-vicious nibble!

This is such a special collab, and you can taste the love and joy in every single bite. Still mind blown at how much it actually tastes like a waffle cone without any grains, gluten, or dairy. Congratulations to you both on an amazing, innovative product!!
Awww Pooja…love how you “see” what Michelle and I did here! Thank you so much! It’s been such a bright spot this year, so nostalgic and special on many, MANY levels!
