And so it begins...

Meg asked me for my granola recipe,and I think this will be the easiest way to share recipes. I make no promises as to frequency of postings, only to deliciousness of food. And that's pretty relative, so take it for what it's worth. We love this granola. So much healthier than store-bought breakfast cereals, and a good way to use food storage grains to keep them rotated.

Best Granola (7 Wives Inn recipe)

8 cups rolled oats
3 cups rolled barley
3 cups rolled wheat
3 cups 9 grain mix (chipped grain - not rolled)
2 c flaked coconut
1/2 c sunflower seeds
1 cup sliced almonds
1-1/2 cup succanat

Mix above ingredients in a giant bowl. In a suacepan, heat until bubbly:

1 cup water
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup honey
1 cup peanut butter
1 Tablespoon vanilla

Pour hot mixture over dry ingredients and mix well. Spread over 4 cookie sheets. Bake in 225 degree oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. When cool, add:

2 cups raisins

Store in airtight container.
