Granola Recipe: Granola is a great way to start the day. Granola recipes are a heartwarming treat for breakfast or any time. Rita heads in to the kitchen to show you how just a few ingredients — oats, nuts and dried fruit — make the perfect base for granola. This granola recipe is as healthy as it is delicious. The granola recipe calls for dried cranberries and blueberries — two healthy fruits full of antioxidants.

I’m going to try this. I find that most of the ones in the shop have raisins in and I dislike raisins and never really thought of making my own. Thanks!

Yes, you can. I am actually eating a big bowl of granola with mel(honey) .
Cheers from the island of Florianopolis. Brasil

November 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 am

how can I make my own pickling spice mixture rather than buy it from the store? I can a lot of pickles.

Really nice videos, thank you!

Wow I just discovered your videos Rita and I love all the tips you add to them! There’s always some surprises everytime I try a recipe. You do try to cover it all! Sticky fruit chopping, why we put fruits after. Finally someone who cares about the people who try these recipes. Thank you so much!

Wonderful! Thank you so much for letting us know.~ Rita

I made this and it’s delicious

effinlia, That’s from a study by the Research Institute for Organic Agriculture, in Switzerland.
“that’s classic.”
I guess you can only laugh things off, not prove them false.

Net loss of mineral oils in soil, due to organis farming? Haha, wow that’s classic.
Even if this is true, I doubt the effects of a loss in mineral oils is as devastating as nitrogen runoff, pesticides, cash crops and patent seeds.
And sure, maybe some crops may be resistant to climate change due to their engineered DNA, but soon as disease strikes, if all the genes of the plants are the same there’s a nearly 100% loss of food.
Please, learn more on the subject before you go yapping about it.

this looks really good. Going to try it out.

blintz69, What kind of food is grown in a lab?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 am
Food that grows in nature is healthier than food created in a lab, duh!
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 am
I’m not scared off by buzzwords. However, it seems you would rather not explain why “Franken-oil” is bad for you.
Could you explain, then, why net loss of minerals in soil – which organic farming causes – is a good thing?
And if climate change will have a negative impact on crops, wouldn’t certain traits be beneficial to mankind?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 am
I thought that my stating that canola oil is genetically engineered, or a form of frankenfood, would be a good enough explanation as to why it is not good for you. Since you seem to lack information on the subject, just look for various YouTube videos on the subject of Monsanto, or under the title “The Future of Food,” and you will get a sense of the problem.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 am
Why does that make it “not good” for you?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 am
Please don’t use canola oil. It’s more and more genetically engineered, and thus no good for you.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 am
Thank you Rita! I can’t wait until I make it. I may never go back to store bought again.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 am
I agree! I use Madagascar pure ground vanilla in mine with the dry ingredients. It is awesome!
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 am
