Homemade Granola--Good 'n Healthy!

Just like 99% of the rest of America,

I vowed on January 1, to try and

be more healthy in my eating choices.

(I am delighted to tell you, thus far...

what is this...Day 9?... I'm doing...

...pretty well.)

All that being said, I came across a recipe for

GRANOLA, which sounded promising.

I'm needing something for snacking

that doesn't make me feel guilty.

I made it yesterday and I think it may

fit the bill!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine in a large bowl:
4 1/2 c. old-fashioned oats, uncooked
1/3 c. sliced almonds
1/2 c. shredded sweetened coconut
2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt

3. Whisk together:

1/2 c. honey

1/4 c. apple juice

4. Pour over the oat mixture and

stir to coat thoroughly.
5. Spread mixture in an even layer

on a large baking sheet.

6. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown,

stirring twice during baking time.

7. Let cool.

8. Add:

1/2 c. raisins

1/2 c. dried cranberries

Serves 12

(230 calories per 2/3 cup serving)

Store granola in a airtight container.

I tried it on some Greek yogurt--

have you tried that?

Yum!
