I bought the fabric and made two blankets for the little girls (cut and tied the fringes), and homemade granola mix (I was running out of time so James helped me with this)
I'll post more photos when we get back!
4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 ½ cups sliced or slivered almonds
½ cup packed light brown sugar (optional)
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ cup expeller pressed oil
¼ cup honey (increase if no sugar)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ cups raisins or dried cranberries
(I usually sprinkle in wheat germ and flax seeds, and sometimes add coconut or vary the nuts I use. If I add a lot of other goodies, I increase the oil and honey to 2/3 and 2/3.)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a saucepan, heat the honey and oil until warm. Stir in the vanilla. Pour the liquid mixture over the oats. Stir gently.Spread granola in a jelly roll pan (I prefer the large stoneware bar pan). Bake for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes (or not at all if you use the stone!). Transfer pan to a cooling rack and stir in raisins or cranberries. Allow to cool completely and then store in an air-tight container. Can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Makes approximately 9 cups. Enjoy!
