ejchristian86, I just made your granola recipe today and I'm so pleased with the result. What a great combination of flavors and the yield was perfect to fit in my empty rolled oats container. Rather than using all wheat germ, I did 1/4 c each wheat germ, ground flax seeds, desiccated coconut, and oat bran, and I used egg white instead of oil. I had a taste of this with yogurt and honey, and it was so tasty, I'm having a hard time keeping myself out of the kitchen to get more. Thanks, ej, for posting this. (P.S. Next time I'll use golden raisins but the dark were all I had and it worked great).

I am a 20 year-old psych student from San Francisco. I have suffered from anorexia nervosa for over 4 years, so almost all my recipes are low fat, or things I've found and posted in order to get the nutrition info! Also included are several recipes given to me by my nutritionist, which are healthy and balanced and designed to be irresistable. I am a vegetarian, so the recipes I have posted involving meat are things I regularly prepare for my meat-eating family members.
Currently I am a sophomore at UC Santa Cruz, studying psychology. I hope to one day become a high school counselor, helping teens with issues I have experienced.
