Homemade Granola
I got a granola recipe from my best friend's mom growing up in Honeyville. I changed a few things and this recipe is what we make each year. This is one of my favorite recipes to make in the fall & winter months when it is chilly outside. Not only does it taste so good. It makes my house smell AWESOME (NO candles needed) and it's good for you. I always double this recipe because it goes so fast. Yummy.
