homemade granola

made some granola last night and wrapped it in clear cellophane bags and tied with red bows for the neighbors as christmas gifts. i used this recipe from ina garten that uses old-fashioned oats, coconut, almonds, honey and lots of cinnamon. i used dried cranberries instead of dried cherries because we seem to have a large quantity of those in the house right now. i love homemade granola on greek yogurt or with milk as cereal. i even had it last night over some vanilla ice cream. it smelled like christmas last night.
