Here is my stove-top granola recipe! (Super easy!)
3 T butter
3 T milk
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
3 T peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1 t vanilla
2-3 cups quick oats
Optional: 1/4 c raisins or chocolate chips
Melt butter. Stir in milk and sugars. Bring to a boil and continue stirring for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Stir in oats to desired texture. Spread on a greased cookie sheet and broil 3-4 minutes in oven. (Be careful not to burn it!) Enjoy!

Wednesday, September 15, 2010
So... Wednesdays are my day off. (Which is today.) I LOVE having a break mid-week. It is WONDERFUL!! It seems to come at just the perfect time. I work Monday and Tuesday and then I get a break!! And then I work a little more, and then comes another break... it's great! And I LOVE my job. My boss is AWESOME and it is SO GREAT to have a job and not have to do any homework!!
Anywho... with today being my day off and all, I thought I would go to my parents house and upload some pictures on our blog while Jaren is at school. (We don't have the internet at our home.) And OF COURSE I forget my camera and I realize it right as I'm pulling into their driveway. So typical... Well, one of these days I will upload some pictures. For now you'll just have to read my long, boring posts! :)
Since Jaren is basically gone from sun-up to sun-down these days, (Literally... he's at school from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. EVERY WEEKNIGHT. He's a good studious person with his 18 credits.) So... I thought I'd write about some things that occupy my time (besides work).
GRANOLA!!!! Seriously... I'm OBSESSED with making it. I love it, and I love to make it. AND it is SUPER easy along with very tasty! I brought some to my family almost every night last week. I made it for my mother-in-law for her birthday. I eat it for breakfast. I make Jaren eat it. (J/K I don't have to make him). I LOVE IT!! I never EVER baked once during the summer (mostly due to our 85 degree house). But now that Fall is approaching, I have been making tons and tons of granola. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Gym! I wasn't too sure about getting a gym pass... but now that I have one, I am SO glad I do! I feel a lot happier after I've worked out, and it is so nice to be active again. (Since I was basically an entirely non-active person during school). I just love those endorphins! My favorite class is body combat... it kicks my butt! And it feels good to have my butt kicked!
Reading! Can I tell you how much I just LOVE to read?! This summer I was able to read the Hunger Games Series, which was WONDERFUL! I wish there were more. I loved that series so much!! I also finished the Twilight series, and read/am reading the rest of the Percy Jackson and Fablehaven series.
For Jaren's birthday, I think I am going to get him some WSU sweats. (Since that's what he said he wanted.) Everyone is always supporting U of U or BYU or USU... but how about some people support WSU!! ha ha That's what Jaren said, which is why I am going to buy him Weber State sweats. We support them in their academics (not necessarily their sports). Don't tell him though, it's a surprise! (And he never reads this blog anyway, so I know my secret is safe.)
And guess what else... SURVIVOR starts tonight! Woo hoo!!!! Yeah baby! I am so excited!! Guess who also shares my love of the game... my Grandma Wood! She's the best! She always knows what's going on. When I visited her last Sunday I told her I was excited for Survivor on Thursday. Luckily for me, Grandma quickly told me not to watch it on Thursday because this season it is airing on WEDNESDAYS!! I'm so glad my grandma told me that! I just thought I'd pass along the word in case anyone else did not know!
Well, one day I'll have some pictures on here! (But don't count on it! J/K I really will try to post some soon!)
