Easy Homemade Granola

552010 019Today my assistant chef and I made some very tasty and easy homemade granola. It was simple to put together, and oh soooooo yummy!  Our family loves to snack, and Max loves loves loves granola, so I thought I would give it a try.

After a little searching I found a recipe in Real Simple magazine, but had to doctor it a bit according to what we like to eat, and what I had in my cabinets (we used sunflower seeds & slivered almonds).

There are so many other things we could have added, but we made a very basic mix.  So if you are looking for a new snack to make, try this! Max, Sam & I give it two thumbs up! My favorite thing about this recipe is that the boys were able to do much of the pouring and mixing and we had a little mini-lesson on measuring.  There are so many ways to teach children in the kitchen!
