I think my handmade granola is the perfect idea! It is full of wonderful ingredients that are great with milk, yogurt, ice cream or just a quick snack!<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Homemade Granola</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4 C. - Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 C. - Toasted Wheat Germ</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 C. - Unsalted Sliced Almonds</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 C. - Unsalted Pumpkins Seeds</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 C. - Unsalted Sunflower Seeds</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3/4 C. - Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 C. - Wildflower Honey (Wildflower, Orange etc.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 t.- Vanilla Extract</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 t.- Ground Cinnamon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 t. - Ground Nutmeg</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 t. Kosher Salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 C. - Dried Cranberries</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 C. - Dried Cherries or combination with Dried Blueberries)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In a large bowl, toss the oats, wheat germ, almonds, and seeds. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour the liquids over the oat mixture and stir until all the oats and nuts are coated. Pour onto a baking pan or sheet pan. Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until all the mixture turns a nice and even golden brown - for about 45 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool - stirring occasionally Add the dried fruits. Store the granola in an airtight container.<br />
<br />
When ready to package for a gift, the granola can be put in old-fashioned jars of any size, a craft bag with a window to see through or a clear bag all tied with cute ribbon and a label.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Makes 10 to 12 cups </i><br />
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Chef Tip: If your oven cooks fast, lower the temperature to 300 degrees and stir every 10 minutes. The granola need to be watched very carefully not to get to brown. Otherwise, the recipe is very easy to make.<br />
You can substitute your favorite nuts or dried fruits to your own individual preference.</div>

As you can see, Laurie also spends quite a bit of time outside her kitchen and in her beautiful gardens. She feels it is very important to have the healthiest and freshest ingredients to work with when cooking. </h2>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: x-large;">Summertime fun outside the kitchen!</span></h2>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Laurie has been busy not only in the kitchen, but also enjoying the summer with her friends and family! </span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />It all started in late June with Laurie's Cape Cod trip. They usually go with old Chicago friends, Chuck & Tosh Kimball and Armen & Patty Kholamian. The Kimballs and Kholamians have been going for 7 years or so and the Bakkes have joined in on the last two years. Chuck was born and raised on the Cape and has many, many relatives that come and go through the times that they are there. When these groups of friends get together they have a lot fun!! They typically rent a large home by Nauset Beach and try to go to the beach everyday, if the girls aren't shopping in nearby Chatham. </span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Her next venture took place on July 2, which was also Laurie's birthday. Earlier in the day, she went to the <a href="http://www.purpleonionsaluda.com/">Purple Onion</a> in Saluda with Paul, Chris, and Megan. Her family then left Hendersonville for Lake Summit on July 3rd. Celebrating the 4th of July has always been a fun ritual for the entire family. The lake puts on a fabulous fireworks display that is very impressive. There is also a large boat parade with serious water fights with balloons being thrown, hoses etc. It's truly a blast! So they all gather with her Mom, various sisters, their children, nieces and nephews and plenty of friends. Although, this time they had a very special occasion to celebrate before heading out on water to watch the fireworks. Laurie's daughter had surprised her with a "Flag cake" for her birthday (which she found on <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/190488259209572142/">Pinterest</a>). It was quite yummy & very festive! </span></h3>
