This turned out great - I was nervous but it was really successful.I used orange juice concentrate so flavour was terrrific. I was grateful for the advice to watch closely though and luckily mine did not burn !! -
This didn't have as much flavor as other orange granola recipes, but it was very healthy. I added some coconut, and doubled the honey, and also used rasin bran instead of all-bran cereal. Make sure you watch it close, or it will get burnt!

<p>We own a small ranch located in Napa, California. We used to be considered odd because we grew most of our food and lived frugally. Now we are viewed as trendy- go figure!</p>
<p>Anyway, we raise chickens for meat and eggs, have tons of fruits and vegetables and do it all without using pesticides or chemicals.</p>
<p>We also cook almost everything we eat from scratch. It takes a lot longer, but ours is the house that everyone wants an invitation to dinner at.</p>
