Granola has always been one of my favorite breakfast foods. I've never been a huge fan of boxed cereal, as it gets soggy too fast and I normally can't eat the same cereal more than 3 days in a row. My mom started making this granola when I was in college and I
loved it. It's wonderful with milk, yogurt, or just plain to munch on. One of the great things about granola is that you can pretty much add whatever you want to it to suit your tastes. Craisins, nuts, sunflower seeds, raisins...the options are many!

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Yum I love granola! We haven't had it in a while - I'll have to make some after all of my kitchen things come out of the boxes :)
