GRANOLA

...continued
I'm still struggling with my painting project.  Yesterday I actually made some progress, but to work a second day at that energy level... hmm, I don't know.  I'm trying to think of something that's more urgent than painting again today.  Wait!  I haven't eaten any breakfast!  Good excuse to go into the kitchen.  The granola I made last week would be delicious with the "cream on top" whole milk vanilla yogurt in my fridge.  And there's fresh organic strawberries... Perfect!  And maybe my neighbors need a tart...

                                               GRANOLA
                               (sauce adapted from the Good Breakfast Book)

7 1/2 cups organic rolled oats
1 cup raw wheat germ
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup chopped almonds
1 cup dried sour cherries
1 cup dried blueberries

Sauce:
3/4 cup honey
1/4 cup corn oil
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl.  Heat together sauce ingredients, spoon over the dry ingredients, then spread onto a sheet pan and bake in a 375 degree oven about 15 minutes, until dry and lightly browned.  Remove from oven.  Cool.  Stir in the dried fruit.
