Tuesday

Well I made it through Monday! And Tuesday has arrived.
We are having an open house on Saturday, so I am planning on starting to get some projects going today. We'll see how that goes.
Yesterday I made granola. Yes, homemade granola. It is awesome.
Paul and I ate it this morning with fresh berries and soy milk on it and it was so yummy!
Want the recipe?
Ok, here ya go. By the way, I found this on another blog. She had a whole blog about making homemade granola and how she's been working on finding the perfect recipe for a long time. And she had decided that the trick was to use rice flour. So I need to comment here that that seems to be an important part of the recipe that you may not want to substitute. And rice flour can be found in the health food section of you local grocery store. Or you could just come on over here for breakfast every morning...because I plan on having this on hand most of the time. It's good!
Oh yeah, and I doubled the recipe and gave a little bit of it away...

The Perfect Granola
(Makes 1 batch)

Mix together in a large bowl
4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

In a medium size bowl, mix until smooth:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Pour the wet ingredients onto the dry and mix very thoroughly. Spread onto a big cookie sheet.
Bake at 315 degrees in increments of 10 minutes. Check every 10 minutes but Do NOT stir. If you make a double batch, switch yourtop and bottom baking sheets after each 10 mins.
Bake until golden. Mine usually takes around 40 minutes. Let cool and then turn onto a sheet(s) of wax paper.
Break up the clumps as desired.
Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy this perfectly delicious granola!


And have a great Tuesday!
