On a cold friday afternoon, me and a few of my sisters from my old freshman small group at aacf decided to try making granola to eat as a snack as well as spend some time of catching up. Since none of us have ever made homemade granola, I looked at some random recipes online to get a feel for what should be in it and the ratios between oats to nuts to sweet etc. and while I was at the super market one of my friends and I decided that almonds, pecans, craisins, and white chocolate would go well together :D. So as we gathered at my apartment on that rainy afternoon, we quickly made this treat and had a good time of quality chitter chatter and fun. By the time we had to split, there was so much granola that we each at a good sized bowl, and had plenty of leftovers to share, or keep for ourselves I guess ;]. This recipe is so easy to make, and honestly there's not that many things that go better with studying than granola, to make the time pass or keep you awake. I hope that this good study snack or hearty breakfast helps those who are in the midsts of exams and papers. Good Luck to you all :] Please Enjoy. Cook.Eat.Love.Smile.
