Yummy Snack and News!

I have done very good at portion control lately and healthier snacks. I must pat my self on the back. And say I have FINALLY reached my goal. And I am down to my pre-Gavin...(yeah Gavin not Grant) weight. Things are distributed a little differently then they were back then. Im just happy that those clothes are fitting, with room I might add. Just in time to gain it back with baby #3. (Funny, that's not where this post was headed. LOL). Im just 6 weeks along. With a due date of Sept. 11. Yes, I did plan it! I would rather be fat in the pool. Then have a new born outside during the summer.
Well, to get back on track. Im tired of the same old snack. And I stumbled across a recipe my sister gave me months ago. Im made it yesterday and love it!

Peanut Butter Granola in the crock pot

6 cups dry oatmeal

½ cup wheat germ

½ cup toasted coconut

½ cup sunflower seeds

½ cup raisins ( I used crasins)

1 cup butter

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar

Combine oatmeal, wheat germ, coconut, sunflower seeds, and raisins in large slow cooker. Melt together butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar. Pour over oatmeal in cooker. Mix well. Cover. Cook on low 1 ½ hours stirring every 20 minutes. Allow to cool in cooker, stirring every 30 minutes or so, or spread onto cookie sheet. When thoroughly cooled, break into chunks and store in airtight container. ENJOY!
