Homemade Granola


I have been wanting some granola for the last couple of weeks. I usually buy it at Aldi grocery store but since I am trying to stretch my grocery budget and we are eating from the pantry I decided to make it myself.

I turned to one of my favorite recipe sites, Recipe Zaar. After reading through a few granola recipes, I decided to try this one. It earned 5 stars and had 117 reviews. It had to be good, right? It was! Too good. I am afraid the batch I made (2 large cookie sheets full) will not last long. Justin and Kaden discovered they like it too! I had a feeling this would happen. We had some for a snack this afternoon. It was so yummy! I am looking forward to tomorrow morning when I have some with raisins and milk. Heavenly......I have a feeling I will be making more again soon!

Oh the only thing I changed was I added half a cup of wheat germ and used a cup and a half of sliced almonds and no pecans. (yeah I had to tweak it)
