  1. There's Granola and then there's GRANOLA, well this is the later - very very great way to start the day. I felt like Jack Armstrong after he had had a bowl of "Wheaties" (bet you don't ever know who he was Hint - "The All American Boy"). The only thing I added was 3/4 cup of "Craisins" Excellent recipe thanks Cindy Lynn
     
  2. Made this recipe this morning and it tastes great as a snack. I think that next time I might use pecans instead of cashews simply because I love roasted pecans. Thought about maybe adding some cinnamon too. Wonderful recipe and appears very versatile. Thanks - what a lucky catch!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am currently a stay at home Mom and wife (aka: homemaker, domestic engineer, chauffeur, etc.). My husband and I made this choice about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time I was averaging 72 hours/week +. Our kids were complaining that they never saw me, and one of them was even getting in trouble (too little supervision apparently). We got the troubled teen through high school, and she is currently preparing for college. Things have improved a lot so I am considering going back to work part-time while the kids are gone to school (if the right opportunity presents itself). <br> <br>I love to cook, especially trying new recipes. I get tired of the same ol', same ol'. I also love reading cookbooks and the history of recipes. I always hated doing all the dishes afterwards, so I did a lot of one dish meals whenever possible. Recently, my husband bought me a new dishwasher, so now I am cooking up a storm! Everyone is loving it. <br> <br>I look forward to making new friends in Recipezaar, trying out new recipes, and hope some of you will try some of mine. Please, if you try my recipes, take time to post a little note telling me about your experience and any modifications you may have made. I just love to experiment and try new things in the kitchen! :-))
