Granola
this has been a long time coming! but i finally got it i think. see there are tons of good tasting recipes out there, but the texture is all wrong. or not like store bought how it is clumpy. adding egg whites works, but unless you have chickens that doesn't help you for em prep. my sister suggested substituting 1/2 cup quick oats per about 2 cup rolled oats to help it clump together and it totally works with every recipe (well that i have tried =o] )
here is the best tasting one i have had, though it stuck to the wax paper:

and here is my other favorite:

Peanut Butter Granola

3c oats
1/2c peanut butter
1/2c honey
1 T vanilla extract
1/8t salt
4T butter

combine all but oats in a pan on the stove until melted. remove from heat and stir in oats until coated. spread onto baking pan. bake at 350* for 7 minutes. stir every 3 minutes for 15-20 minutes total bake time to avoid burning. cool completely. store in an airtight container.
