Raw Granola

Hi there! I am sorry that it has taken me several days to write. I have struggled with work and church problems and can't seem to find the energy to write on top of that. I did lose almost 2 more lbs this week putting me at 213.4. I have made a few fun dishes I will have to blog about in the future.

This weekend I am babysitting my nephews. We went to Wreck It Ralph last night and we loved it! When the boys got up early this morning I put on cartoons (Thomas the Tank Engine) on for them and had the craving for cereal. I always grew up with cartoon saturday morning and cereal. This was a fun flash back!



I got this recipe from a friend in my parents ward. I have no idea where they got it so the credit will go to them.
