For years after I moved to the west coast and began to adapt a more healthy lifestyle, I have been accused by my east coast family and friends as becoming a "crunchy granola" type. So, in the spirit of all things crunchy I give you the best recipe I have found for real-life, delicious, crunchy granola.

This originally comes from Mark Bittman's column in the NY Times but I have adapted it slightly (after making it about 1000 times).

It's the perfect recipe to bust out over the holidays because it makes a great hostess gift or a little something to bring to your neighbor to say "Happy New Year!"

I put it into jars and have a cache of them sitting on the counter, ready to grab and go. If you end up with any left over I'm sure it won't be around for very long.

This stuff is delicious!
