When my kids were in high school, they went away to boarding school because the city we lived in (in Trujillo, Peru) did not have an adequate place to prepare them for university in the US. I missed them a lot, but usually really never went more than about seven weeks without seeing them. Along the way they picked up some good recipes from the mom in the dorm where they lived (they lived in the same dorm, being brother and sister). This granola recipe is one of them.
Dry ingredients
6 cups corn flakes
6 cups oats
1 cup wheat germ
3/4 cups bran flakes
2 cups chopped almonds
1 cup coconut
Wet
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup oil
Bring oil and honey to a boil and pour over dry ingredients. Place on 2 greased cookie sheets and bake for 30 minutes @ 300 stirring every 5 minutes. Stir in raisins or other dry fruit after removing from oven. You can add flax, cinnamon or sunflower seeds.

This looks so good. And healthy. I'm going to try it for sure.
Must have been hard to have your children away for school, but was probably great prep for college, right?
All I read was, you had to send your kids away. That must have been so hard! I didn´t know that. You should post about "letting go of your kids and still having a great relationship with them", because you are the expert! :)
Oh, and the granola sounds good too... :)
Fresh made granola is the best and your recipe looks great!!
