Homemade Granola

I absolutely LOVE granola!  The only problem with it is that is gets pretty pricey!  Here is a granola recipe that I have been making for a while now and it goes GREAT with our Homemade Yogurt Recipe!  Another great thing about making your own granola is you can take away or substitute ingredients like Almonds for Walnuts, Cranberries for Raisins etc...

Homemade Granola

Ingredients:

6 Cups Rolled Oats

2 Cups Almonds

2 Cups Sunflower Seeds

1 1/2 Cups Shredded Coconut

3/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar

3/4 Cup Maple Syrup

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

1 tsp Salt

2 Cups Cranberries

Directions:

Heat oven to 250 Degrees. 

In a large bowl mix the oats, almonds, sunflower seeds and coconut.

In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, syrup, oil and salt.

Combine both mixtures (make sure the oats are all coated).  Pour onto 2 greased cookie sheets and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Stir the mixture every 30 minutes while baking.  Remove from oven and add the cranberries when oats are cooled.  

Enjoy!

Boy Scout Cake Decorating Contest

A few weeks ago, we had Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts.  

The theme of the night was Native Americans.

There was a cake decorating contest. This is the cake that my boys decorated.  They helped me bake the cake and make the frosting, but they designed and decorated the cake by themselves .  I thought they did a pretty good job!  

They used Kit Kat bars along the side of the cake.  Pretzels were used for the campfire along with some orange fondant.  Twix bars were used for the logs around the campfire.  A waffle cone and bowl were used for the hogan and tepee.  Pretty creative boys!  :)  In fact, they won a ribbon for the "Best Overall Theme"!

Friday Feature: Debbie Does Creations

 I recently came across a new blog that I haven't been to.  It's called Debbie Does Creations.  

I actually won one of her giveaways of a tulle wreath and I'm really excited to get it!  She is customizing it for me for Easter!  Yea!

She has a recipe for a Strawberry Cake that sounds so good!  I know I will just have to try it...

She also posts the weekly ads for some great stores along with coupons.

You should really take the time to look at what she has going on!  (She loves glitter!)
