Healthy Stuff

"Man! I love Granola" he keeps saying. "I'll eat it on yogurt, with milk, by itself"....

OK! I'll make granola!

My own combination of my favorite things, we've been eating it everyday for a week, and it tastes better now (a week later) than when I made it.


3 cups (old fashioned)rolled oats
1 cup walnut pieces
1 cup raisins
1 cup dried apples (chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup real maple syrup
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup canola oil


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper. 

Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl, except for the syrup, honey and oil.
Warm the syrup, honey and oil in a saucepan or in a glass bowl in the microwave until just warm. Pour over dry mixture and stir to coat evenly. Spread out on the pan and bake for 15- 25 minutes (depending on how crispy you like your granola). Stir every 5-7 minutes to bake evenly. Cool and store in airtight containers. Makes about 8 cups.
