Well, since April started us back on the blog, I am excited. We were actually talking about this last Sunday that the blog could be used to update each other instead of the email system that Joanna started. Part of the idea was to share practical things like recipes, prayer requests, ways to love/teach our children and husbands, etc.
So, here is a great granola recipe to start us off!
2 c rolled oats (can be gluten free)
1 c unsweetened coconut (or 1/2 c roasted soy beans and 1/2 cup mixed nuts)
1/2 cup dried fruit ( I like cranberries)
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 sesame seeds
1/2 c cashews (or walnuts)
1 1/2 c natural peanut butter
1 c honey
1 tsp vanilla
Combine all of the dry ingredients and set aside. Mix the wet ingredients in microwave-safe bowl and cook for 1 minute. Mix both bowls together and spread in a 9x13 pan. Bake @ 350 for 15 minutes. Cut into bars when cool.
Jason and Mabry love these and I have had to put myself on a daily ration b/c they are so good and call my name! Brooke, if you like nuts and fruit you will love this for a quick snack when you are feeding a newborn and your body is recouping. I needed food asap right after nursing and labor! :)
