Want Some Granola?

This was supposed to be an adoption website. Why am I blogging about granola you ask? Ummm, I don't know, because I can! This does happen to be Beau's favorite granola! Plus, I have to do something to occupy myself during this LONG WAIT. Why not granola? I have a really great recipe. I made it the other day and thought I would share!

GRANOLA
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla
6 cups quick oats
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1- 4oz. bag sliced almonds
1- 6 oz. bag Craisins

Combine butter, oil, honey, brown sugar, water, and vanilla in small sauce pan on low heat. In large bowl mix oats, nutmeg, and cinnamon. DO NOT ADD ALMONDS AND CRAISINS YET! Pour sauce over oats and mix well. Spread oats mixture on large cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 10 minutes or until oats are golden brown. Remove from oven and put oats back into large bowl. Immediately mix in nuts and craisins. Then put granola back onto cookie sheet to cool completely before packaging.
