Fields of sunshine...

We are surrounding by fields of sunshine full of a variety of crops... oats, soybeans, canola, wheat. 

I just love watching them grow and flourish! 

Making granola

Today I started a new batch of granola. I make it in my dehydrator (although you could do so in the oven as well). 

Once I mix up all the dry ingredients (nuts, seeds and oats), I add a mixture of browned butter, oil, honey and syrup to stick it all together. 

Before they are fully done, I may shape them into bars or simply leave as shown and then break apart into bigger chunks. 

Great energy bars and I like that I know what's in them!
