Great Granola
Who knew that granola was so easy to make? Instead of paying tons of money for it in the store, give this recipe a try. You can vary the nuts and fruits used, and adding a small amount of flavoring to the syrup will flavor the granola. Adapted from a Food Network recipe.
"This is really easy and good tasting! I added 1/4 c dried cranberries, 1/4 c raisins, and 1/2 c sliced almonds and my family loved it."
