Homemade Honey Granola

One of my favorite homemade foods is granola. Several years ago I decided I was not feeding my family boxed cereal anymore. Not only was it expensive, the ingredients list was way too long for my taste. I like to know what is in my food, I like to know what I am feeding my kids and I like to be able to pronounce the ingredients. So I gave up on store bought cereal and bought a very large bag of rolled oats. 
After 4 years and several requests and complaints from the kids I came up with a very easy recipe that is cost effective and tasty.
 Honey Granola
4 cups rolled oats
1/2-3/4 cup honey
1 tsp Vanilla extract
3/4 cup Almonds
3/4 cup walnuts
1/2 cup craisins
1/4 cup water
2 tsp cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together except the craisins. Spread the mix  evenly onto cookie sheets
bake at 300 for 20 minutes. take out and stir. place back in oven and check every 10 minutes until granola is golden brown. I usually bake a total of 45 minutes.
