Quote du Jour
I can't tell you enough about cinnamon. Cinnamon is an awesome spice to use
and it goes great with something like apples in the morning or in a mixture of
fruit or in your oatmeal or even in your cereal. ~ Emeril Lagasse

When I was in junior high school, girls were required to take Home Economics. Sifting, measuring, folding, chopping, sauteing, simmering, working with yeast, thickening sauces - all the cooking basics were taught. At the end of the term, we had a folder with several basic recipes that I still use. This recipe comes from a Quaker Oats hand-out that I still have from my 8th Grade Home Ec class.Emeril Lagasse

A great gift...
Granola is a great hostess gift and for people you want to remember over the holidays. When they were away at college, my children loved receiving homemade granola in care packages.
And easy to pack!
We pack a bag of granola to take along on our road-trips. This helps us get an early start on the road, and, served with Almond or Soy Milk, starts our day with a guaranteed plant-based meal.

Notes: This recipe is easy to double, or triple, or multiply by 5...quintuple is it? Just make sure you have a baking pan that is large enough!
I like to use a large deep sided stainless steel bowl for the baking to make it easy to stir the ingredients. Stirring the ingredients every 15-20 minutes helps release moisture and assures even toasting.
