Day 2: make granola

Mmm…fresh granola:
Homemade granola
Made it up as I went…something like this:

4 cups of rolled oats (but my measuring cup wasn’t clean, so I just dumped it into a bowl..)
1/3 cup veg. oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup honey (from my friends)
1 cup raisins
1 cup Peanut Butter
handful of dark chocolate chips

Mix it all together in a big bowl, spread over baking sheet (lined with foil for easier cleanup!). Bake at 350 (F) for 10 minutes, stir, and bake until crispy (but not burnt!)
