a recipe & treats from a friend

image 28.365

wanted to share my favorite granola recipe
i can't remember where i found it,
but if it's yours , please let me know ...


combine:
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 c almonds ( whole or sliced would work great)
1c pecan halves ( i chopped mine )
1 c brown sugar
1/4 c sunflower seeds
 
whisk & drizzle over combined ingredients:
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick melted butter
1/4 c honey
1 Tbl vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

line baking sheet with parchment paper
& bake at 300 
for 40 minutes
stirring a couple of times

little bit loves to add chocolate chips to hers before mixing in with yogurt :)

also wanted to give a shout out to my new friend Kat.
she showed up monday night, mere moments after my little breakdown,
with treats for our family
including all the fixings for icecream sandwiches & rootbeer floats.
thank you friend
what a huge blessing!!


i hired kat a few weeks ago to whip up a few dishmats for me.
i chose some fabrics from amy butler's new release
& am so pleased with the final result.
thank you again friend!
