Monday: Work, ran errands, taught Body Step, made a shrimpy dinner (boiled up some shrimp, peas, corn, broccoli and mixed it all with lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper and brown rice).
I also made up two batches of granola to bring with us to Hilton Head. The first variety contained 2 cups oats, 1 cup coconut, 1 cup mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, sesame seeds), 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons honey, bake at 250 for 1 hour. 
The second batch contained 2 cups oats, 1 cup coconut, 1 cup almonds/walnuts, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons honey, baked at 250 for 1 hour. Once it came out of the oven, I added another 2 teaspoons cinnamon and about 1/2 cup raisins.
Tuesday: Work, more errands, made Tina's PB bars (I used honey instead of agave, deliciousness), taught Body Attack (air conditioning was BROKEN in the group fitness room blehhhh), had a huge salad for din din.

Love your treats. Homemade granola is the best. I have a recipe on my blog that I love, in case you want to try a new one. I don't use any oil:) Have fun with your guests! I am looking forward to a long 4th weekend as well.
