Graham Wafer Granola

I would like to know how many batches of this stuff we've stirred up over the last 1 1/2 years.  Everyone loves it, so it disappears quickly.  3/4 cup honey 3/4 cup oil 2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. salt 2 cups oatmeal 2 cups coarsely broken graham wafers 1 cup coconut 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/2 cup wheat germ 1/2 cup sesame seeds 1/2 cup almond or peanuts 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries Heat oil and honey until thin.  Add vanilla and salt.  Combine remaining ingredients except raisins and pour honey mixture over.  Spread in cookie sheet and bake 30 min. at 275 F stirring every 10 min.  Let cool, break into chunks and stir in raisins.  A yummy, healthy snack or breakfast.

Cornbread

This is my plain ole', basic cornbread recipe that I always use.  It's fluffy, tender and easy.  Mix: 1 cup flour 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup cornmeal 4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt Add: 1 egg 1 cup milk 1/2 cup oil Stir until smooth.  Bake in a greased 9X9" square pan at 350 for 15-20 min.  Or bake a dozen muffins. Top with sausage gravy, Or eat together with chili, Slather with Roger's Golden Syrup, And add a splash of milk if you like. Bake in a larger pan topped with sugar if you like it thin and a bit crispy... What's your favorite way to eat cornbread?

Amish Baked Oatmeal

This was a favorite breakfast way back in Window Rock.  It's still a favorite.  It can be mixed in the evening, stuck in the fridge and baked in the morning.  Sammi always takes a second helping. 3 c. oatmeal 1 1/2 c. milk 2 eggs 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1 c. sugar 1/2 c. margarine, melted 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. vanilla Mix well.  Spread in greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 min. or until edges are golden brown.  Add cinnamon for flavor instead of vanilla, if desired.
