So I was shopping for groceries yesterday (bet you can't guess where) and found myself in the cereal aisle. I've never been a big cereal eater... but lately I've found that it's the easiest way for me to enjoy my new substitute for milk-- almond milk. So I'm looking for a yummy cereal option and reading the list of ingredients of every box (a new habit for me) and am starting to feel concerned at first of all... how many ingredients there are in a box of cereal and secondly... that I don't have a clue what half the ingredients are! I left the aisle empty handed and resolved to make my own granola. I grabbed a few bags of nuts (not peanuts) and other items that I thought might work in homemade granola and headed home. I really don't know why I don't make homemade granola more often... it's so good! This morning I whipped up a batch while the kids were running around the house, toys flying everywhere. I used this recipe. It's easy. It's delicious... especially with almond milk. And... now that I have homemade granola, I think I'm going to have to try making homemade granola bars too :)

Sounds delicious! I love granola for breakfast. Especially with a big scoop of my favorite yogurt on top and a bit of milk. And its filling, so I snack less prior to lunch :)
I may just have to try this recipe.

Homemade Granola is my breakfast Go-To! I have it nearly every day. LOVE IT.
Yipee! I've been looking for a granola recipe - now I'll just have to try yours! Thank for sharing :)
Oooh...this recipe looks great. And super easy! Almond milk has sure taken some getting used to. After many months of Almond Breeze, we just switched to Silk. It's waaaaay more palatable (dare I say enjoyable?!?) - though the unsweetened regular Almond Breeze is great for baking as it doesn't have any sugar.
I actually prefer almond milk to milk these days.
I buy a ganola type cereal at Costco and love it. You might be able to eat it!
I made some granola bars last week - they were excellent, so much better that store bought! Here's a link to the recipe:

It makes a pretty small batch, so you should probably at least double it!
