Usually my mother enjoyed plain quick cooked oats for her breakfast, but there were times she wanted to dress up her oats a bit.
She liked making her own home made granola, and on some occasions she would spoon this granola on her bowl of oats as a topping. In the summer she would enjoy her granola with milk as a cold cereal.
When Mom needed a "pick me up," she would reach for the container in the refrigerator and enjoy a snack. It was healthy and satisfied her hunger pangs. She also found it excellent sprinkled on yogurt any time of day.

Good, easy granola recipe. Thanks Gail E
I remember granola, the dried dates were my favorite... still love them today...
I used to make my own granola. Now I get "homemade" granola in bulk at the grocery. Love it.
Oh yum. I make my own granola, too. I want to give your mother's recipe a try.
I read a few posts that I missed. MORE! I'm thankful for the "more" in my own life. What a difference it makes.
Giggled at your teacher story. Love that you were encouraged at a young age to keep writing.
Sounds similar to my mother-in-law's granola recipe, and it is SO good! Thanks for sharing this1
