one down

i made the granola. that's about all i accomplished on my week of todo yesterday, but it is delicious. i'm probably never buying cereal again.

5 c rolled oats
3 c nuts (almonds)
2 c shredded coconut
1 c dried fruit
1/2 c powdered milk
1/4-1/2 t ginger
1/2 t cinnmon
pinch of salt
1/2 c honey
1/2 c vegetable oil
3 t vanilla

stir together all dry ingredients except for the dried fruit. add in oil, honey & vanilla (measure out oil first and then use same cup for honey and the honey just pours out). combine thoroughly
cook on 300 for 30 minutes, stirring every 10.
let cool and stir in dried fruit

i used almonds & dried apricots. i added 1 t almond extract and left out 1 t vanilla. i also chopped a dark chocolate candy bar up and stirred it in. 1 t pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 t ginger.
thinking more almond and less vanilla next time with dried sour cherries and chocolate.
also going to add in some flax.
