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!

4 1/2 c. old-fashioned oats, uncooked

1/2 c. honey

5. Spread mixture in an even layer
on a large baking sheet.
6. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown,

I tried it on some Greek yogurt--
have you tried that?
Yum!
