Yummy, yummy, yummy I have granola in my tummy! Delicious. I made the mistake of using salted, roasted nuts, which made the granola a little too salty. I also forgot to stir it 3 times when if was in the oven. Nonetheless, it turned out FABULOUS! Thanks so much for sharing. I plan on trying more of your recipes. -
I made half of this recipe and wish I would have made the whole batch. This is very tasty and my family loved it. So much better than sugary granola at the grocery store!

So, a bit about me: I love to eat, love to cook and am married to a chef (lucky me).
I have recently recovered from Thyroid issues and adult-onset food allergies. My husband and I welcomed our first child into this world in July. I had a hard pregnancy and spent most of it on bedrest. I gained 65 pounds. I've decided to chronicle my weight loss through recipezaar and also include some baby food recipes as I come up with them.

This is from Sharon123--my first zaar aquaintance. I prepared serveral of her "jar" recipes as Christmas gifts and they were such a hit. This is the cookbook that sold me on this site! We even used Sharon123's Viennese Beet Preserves at our wedding reception!
