My sister and I made this a lot when we were teenagers. When I went to Oregon to visit our family I made some of this and formed granola bars as snacks on the train.
Ingredients
5 Cups oatmeal (no quick cook)
1 Cup sunflower seeds
1 Cup dates
1 Cup raisins
2/3 Cups butter
1 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup wheat germ
1/4 Cup light corn syrup
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Cup honey
Directions
Step 1. Mix all dry ingredients
Step 2. Mix all wet ingredients in a separate bowl
Step 3. Mix everything together in one large bowl or roasting pan.
Step 4. Place everything in a covered roasting pan in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes. Remove the cover for the last 15 minutes.
Step 5. Turn out on wax paper to cool. Break up into small pieces as it cools.

This is a place to keep all the wonderful recipes that keep our family going. Here's hoping you like just a couple of them.
Cookbooks Galore
There are so many choices out there for cookbooks that it is very overwhelming. Do you want to cook fat free, sugar free, home cooking, Italian style, Crockpot cooking, campfire cooking, Grilling, etc, the list could literally fill a library. The recipes at "B's Family Recipes" are a compilation of the recipes that make my family happy.
I don't like to cook the same thing on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and the very next week, do it all over again. I also don't like to buy my food prepared in a box, there's just too much salt and chemicals in those choices.
I DO like to make the dishes that make myself and my family happy. It is an expression of my love for them, which is what good cooking should be about. Even a restaurant chef should cook because it makes him happy to share his skills with other people.
So, as you travel through the internet looking for that recipe that makes your life more fulfilled, please keep in mind that this is just another tool to construct a new and better life. Enjoy the simple things; the taste of mozarella cheese combined with tomatoes and basil, the smell of fresh rosemary, the tang of a crisp juicy apple, the fuzz on the season's first peach, the scent of banana bread as it bakes in the oven, etc......
