So I knew this was a hit before I really tried it myself because MY HUSBAND ALMOST ATE ALL OF IT before I got to it! I made this over the weekend as I prepped for my first week and though I did grab a quick nibble as I put it in the storage container I didn't go back to it until later to actually have some. By the time I did that container had about 1/3 left in it! And this recipe makes A LOT - more than the average cereal box that's for sure!
Easy and I tell you it is better than ANY scented candle or potpourri in making your house smell amazing!

INGREDIENTS:
- Rolled or steel cut oats
- raw sliced almonds
- raw cashew, walnuts or pecan pieces (I tried pecan this time)
- unsweetened shredded coconut (I left out b/c I forgot to get at the store)
- raw sunflower seeds
- raw pumpkin seeds
- ground cinnamon
- ground ginger
- ground nutmeg
- butter
- honey
- vanilla extract
- you also need wax / parchment paper
NOTES:
Unbelievably easy! Even a couple days after making it was super crunchy and had just enough spices / sweet to eat with a little milk as a cereal. This is coming from the woman who adds 4 packets of splenda to most cereals! Like the other meals I've tried so far I found I was full fast and full until lunch time ... no more 10:00AM grumblies!
Clearly the only problem with this recipe is that I'm going to have to make more than one batch a week if the hubby keeps loving it too! Or I could just add raisins ... he HATES raisins! Of course I should have thought of that this time since if I add them now he'll know it basically is a neon sign saying "GET OUT!" Eh ... I'll make 2 batches next week instead. Want to try the coconut in there anyway!
