Granola (Meusli)

I tried this at Shay and Shawn's place while we were in the States last month.
I loved it, got the recipe and tried my hand at making it tonight. Sooooo yum !!

12 cups oats
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
4 cups coarsely chopped pecans & almonds & cashews
1 tsp salt

2/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup honey
2/3 cup oil, I used canola

preheat oven 300F/150C
put baking paper on baking sheet ... I actually used two deep baking pans b/c this makes heaps
mix first four ingredients

stir honey, brown sugar oil in saucepan over medium low heat until smooth. ( i just popped it into the microwave for a few minutes) pour over oat mixture, toss. spread on baking sheet

bake until golden, stirring every 10 minutes ... about 40 mins (mine took much longer ... it was in there over an hour)

stir. cool.

What's for Lunch ?

I just love my new bento lunch boxes ! They are so handy ! And just perfect for leftovers ! And look how well it fits in my fancy beer world bag ! You know, the green bags you get to put a six pack in ? I saw it in the grocery store and thought it looked handy ... and what do you know ? It was $1.50 well spent !!

And it's classy...

Oh.

Really ?

Not classy ?

Ok ... we'll stick with handy !

And in my classy handy beer world bag, I can fit other things. Like cutlery, a drink, fruit, etc ...

I love how the bits and pieces come out. So, if I want to heat a bit up, I can just pull it out and heat it up ...

In this bento we've got Lamb Skewers and Mango Chutney leftovers.
Dried Apricots.
and
Annie's Honey Muesli Slice

What are you waiting for ?

I've already made it again !!
