Do you love granola? Me, too! Today, I’m sharing my “basic” granola recipe, which is also the best granola recipe. Granted, I’m partial, but it really is the best and I use that term sparingly.   Granola is one of the most expensive packaged staple foods and it’s much more economical to make it at home. By using a range of spices, natural sweeteners, nuts, seeds and dried fruit, you can create endless variations of homemade granola and never get bored. Once you try homemade granola, you won’t go back to store-bought granola. It’s so much better! Plus, homemade granola is super easy to make. You’ll only need one bowl and some basic pantry ingredients. Ready to make some?   Serves four, buy in bulk at your Bulk Food Source shops and you will save a bundle of sailing kitty. I usually make three times this quantity. Ingredients   1/2 cup each of the following Macadamias   Pecans Walnuts Sunflower seeds   Pumpkin seeds 2   tbs of the foll...
