Coconut-Pecan-Cranberry Granola Recipe

A few weeks ago, I was looking for a homemade granola recipe and came across Winter Granola at The Marathon Mom’s blog.  Her recipe is delicious for snacks!   I have already made it again several times, tweaking the ingredients a little bit so that I can enjoy this granola as a breakfast cereal with milk (hot or cold).
