Turns out, we do like granola! I just don't like the store bought kind. The home made kind is delicious! (and healthy! and easy!) I tried a different recipe this weekend, this one from Cooking with Paula Deen's magazine (March/April 2009 issue).
this is the half version:
in a roasting pan, mix the following:
1 and 1/2 cups oats
1 and 1/2 cups roasted almonds
1/2 jar sunflower seeds
in a sauce pan, mix and cook for about two minutes:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey (I used more honey)
1/8 cup vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pour over the dry mixture and bake at 350 for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
add 1/2 bag dried cranberries (I also added dried cherries and raisins)
let cool
store in airtight container for three weeks (it made A LOT)

This is so much better than store bought one, I need to try it!
NOTHING beats homemade granola. I use a recipe my co-worker makes and I love it. My family didnt initially like granola until I made homemade either.
