Hunger Fighter

I'd like to share with you the recipe I use for Granola...well known in Canada and America, Granola for those of you who don't know is a homemade cereal....It's full of yummy goodies to fill you up on those cold frosty Scottish Mornings and stave off the cold ...and the hunger pangs.

It is very easy to make and will keep in an airtight tin for a couple of weeks, you can also freeze it should you wish to make a bulk lot...
