With recipe in hand, this morning, I went scouting for the wholesome goodness that is needed to make my mom's granola. Success! I found everything except soy nuts, so was pretty happy. I even managed to find the jars I had my heart set on (and they were only B89)!
Jane's Granola
- 6-8 c rolled oats
- 1 c each: unsalted sunflower seed, soy nuts, sesame seeds, wheat germ, unsweetened coconut, nuts
- 1 c honey
- 1 c vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 c raisins or other dried fruit
- Toast oats for 10 minutes at 350 degrees
- Mix with dry ingredients
- Add honey, oil, and vanilla and mix thoroughly with hands
- Roast for 20-25 minutes at 350 in two batches, stir ocassionally
- Remove from oven and add raisins
- Spoon into jars and cool with lids off
I added one cup of chopped dates in addition to the raisins.
The recipe made less than I had hoped, filling only four jars.
Handmade gift cards. B10 each at a street fair.
Ta da!

On another note, T and I had a talk last night. He is going to keep his smoking to a bare minimum and try to wear the patch when I'm around. I felt hopeful when he said he was thinking that when he's ready to quit, he's considering using prescription drugs to help him along. This is a huge turn around from his previous position of only subscribing to the use of Allen Carr's book on the road to quitting. (I HATE Allen Carr.) I know that success is much more likely when medication is used in conjunction with counseling, so this change thrills me.
Whoo. I'm done with my rant. I hope Santa brings me a cigarette-free T for Christmas this year.
