In which we are domestic

I don't usually like granola. It's too sweet, too chewy, too oaty. (And too expensive--seriously, have you priced it lately? It's OATS. It shouldn't cost $8 for a small bag.) But my mother ran across this recipe on Chow, and it is SO worth the effort, largely because there really isn't any effort. It has far fewer ingredients than most granola recipes, and most of them you probably have hanging around the pantry. I love having it on hand to use as a topping for Greek yogurt. (The rest of my family just douses it in milk and eats it like cereal.) I make it with unsweetened toasted coconut--for some unaccountable reason I have FOUR bags of unsweetened coconut in my freezer and have no idea how to get rid of it all--and raisins. And it makes the house smell divine! Perfect project for a snowy afternoon because you will feel virtuous when you are finished and have something delicious to show for about five minutes' worth of puttering.
