Skillet Granola



"Mommy!  Can I have granola with yogurt PLEASE"  this question is heard often and so I am making this about twice a week between the five of us.

Skillet Granola
{I can not take credit for this recipe ~ it was adapted from a recipe I have lost.}

1 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups old fashion oats
 Melt butter in large skillet on low.  Once butter is melted add the remaining ingredients except for oats and heat stirring constantly till all is mixed.  Add granola stir often and keep on heat until it reaches the golden consistency you prefer.

 
Dump the mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper to dry.  Stir and break apart large chunks if you do not like chunky granola. This is the dangerous part of the process.... little Girls and Hubby walking by snatching little bits here and there.

Once dry store in air tight container and enjoy ;)

When I retire...

I would love to live here and quietly grow old with Hubby ;)  I always imagined that we would live by the coast and be quiet happy.  However, I  would for go living by the sea to live here and feel no large sacrifice.


Inspiring place to learn to play piano {or is it a piano forte?}


Oh how I LOVE that beautiful old stove!  


Sipping tea and lemonade out in the back garden with a lovely book ;)


I wonder if Hubby will feel the same?  
Lovelies what do you think of this lovely little School house?
