Granola!

Matt and Tassie found this recipe and I have to say it has become one of my favorites! I eat it for breakfast almost everyday (and sometimes dinner). My favorite dessert is yogurt with a little granola sprinkled on top. Who needs chocolate cake!!!

4 Cups old fashioned oats
1 Cup coconut
¼ Cup slivered almonds
¼ Cup oil
½ Cup honey
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla
Dash of salt
1 Cup raisins

In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut and nuts. Set aside. In a sauce pan, combine oil, honey, cinnamon and salt and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla (careful, it splatters). Poor sauce over oats and stir to coat. Spread onto a shallow cookie sheet and back at 350 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes and then stir, bake for another 5 minutes or until the granola is golden brown. Cool. Add raisins. Store in an airtight container.

Apricot and Nutmeg Smoothie

Tip for blending frozen fruit: I love how frozen fruit gives a smoothie that thick, cool texture, but hate when I end up with bits of frozen chunks that were just to hard to blend. I have found a simple solution. While I am going through my morning routine and I know I am about five minutes away from breakfast, I pull out my frozen fruit and put it in to my blender cup with the amount of milk I am going to use for my smoothie. I let it sit there while I finish up with my hair and make up. By the time I blend my smoothie it is soft enough that I don’t end up with big frozen chunks, but still frozen enough that I get that smooth, thick texture I love! I made this smoothie this morning. We have an over abundance of apricots at out parents house and I froze bags and bags of them! This smoothie turned out to be surprisingly tasty!
