Granola!

By
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.

It took 25 minutes to cook them until they were soft enough to eat. Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Ingredients 1/2 pound bacon, diced 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons butter 1/4 onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced salt and black pepper to taste 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half 2 cups chicken stock Directions 1. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, but not crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the grease in the skillet. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the baco
