Homemade granola

Less expensive, tastier and fresher than the store-bought
variety - and this granola is fun to make!

5 cups rolled oats

1⁄2 cup wheat germ

1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar

1⁄2 cup honey

1⁄2 cup dried apple, chopped 1⁄2 cup sesame seeds

1 cup raisins

1 teaspoon vanilla

1⁄2 cup chopped dates

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup pecans or almonds, chopped

Mix all ingredients together until evenly distributed. Spread
out on dehydrator tray lined with cheese cloth or use the
Ronco Herb Screen (sold separately). Dry until crispy, then
store in an air-tight container or in resealable plastic bags.
Great for breakfast, lunches, snack or a topper over ice
cream and yogurt.

Crispy Nuts and Seeds

Soaking and drying nuts and seeds reduces phytic acid and
enzyme inhibitors which can prevent absorption of nutrients.
Many nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc.) should be soaked
overnight in salt water and then dried for 12-24 hours until
nice and crispy. Soaked and dried nuts and seeds usually
taste better.
