Granola!

Image
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.

Easy Chicken Salad

By
Matthew was the inspiration for this one!  He made a delicious chicken salad for Sunday dinner one day and I was in love. It was such a hit he wouldn't even let me take any left overs home.  Meany! Easy Chicken Salad 1 Rotisserie Chicken, cooled, skinned, de-boned and cubed ½ medium onion diced ½-1 Granny Smith apple diced 3-4 celery stocks diced ¼ cup slivered almonds ¾ - 1 cup Mayo ½ cup light sour cream 1-2 tablespoons dried dill (to taste) Salt and Pepper to taste Mix all ingredients on a bowl.   Chill.   Enjoy! Notes:   We have also used grapes instead of apples.   I also like to add diced tomatoes once and a while.   Chopped olives and dill pickles also make a nice addition.
