Snack Attack

I don't about you, but there are times that I am completely and totally attacked with the urge to snack. So, I figured I would try to fight my snacking battle with something healthy, or at least something that contains healthy components. In doing so, I can use up some of my food storage supply so that I can keep it rotated and fresh. There is a great recipe for granola, my snack of choice, on www.providentliving.org which I am posting to share with all of you. It is super easy, so enjoy!
