Chris and I took all the change in our house to a Coinstar last week and got a $125 Amazon gift certificate! So we FINALLY got what I’ve been dreaming about for years. A Le Creuset Oval Dutch Oven.
First up, PULLED PORK!!
But first, I’m making homemade granola (on a baking sheet though, not in the dutch oven). All I eat lately is granola and yogurt, and fresh granola has changed my life!
3 cups oats
1 cup slivered almonds, 1 cup cashews. I chopped them in the food processor a bit to make them smaller.
1 cup sweetened coconut
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1/4 rounded cup brown sugar
mix that all really well in a bowl.
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup REAL maple syrup.
2 tablespoons molasses
Mix in a cup until well blended. Pour over dry mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated. Spread out onto 2 flat baking pans and bake at 250F for 1 hour, give or take, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even browning.
After it’s done baking and it’s a lovely golden brown color, toss it in a huge bowl and mix in dried cranberries and golden raisings. About 1 1/2 cups total dried fruit.
No pictures of the pulled pork?!
