Homemade Granola

     Esty has a blog called Eatsy that I just stumbled across in my boredom induced by another snow day!  They were featuring a recipe for granola that intrigued me.  Granola in the grocery store is so expensive and who the heck knows what's in it for sure.  Yesterday, Arnauld and I passed a Whole Foods so I went in a explored the bulk bins for all of the things I needed.

The Taste Test
So far I've just nibbled on this a bit, but I'll be adding some to some yogurt later today and will give a real taste test then...
