ReplyDeleteI used to make our granola all the time, why did I stop. This looks easy and good. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic... I never even thought of making my own!

I truly love granola though I haven't made it in quite awhile. This looks awesome. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much; I've needed a good granola recipe. I found a bunch of cereals in my pantry--do you think I could add them (all kinds of corn flakes and raisin bran).
ReplyDeleteHave a splendid 2010!
Jo, I can't believe you chose Xenia because of a book! My daughter just started a food blog, The Unseasond Chef. You might enjoy it. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteHi Jo. The granola looks yummy. Thanks for linking to TMTT.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made granola in a while, but have some new gluten-free oat arriving this week, so I'll have to make some. Thanks for the recipe! Oh, because we keep bees, I always use honey, but have been using agave some lately. Now more info has come out that it's highly processed like HFCS and can harm one's liver ... have you read the info? What do you think?
