Granola

Granola
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c oil
1/2 c honey
1 t cinnamon
2 t vanilla
7 c oats

Preheat oven 350F. Grease 9x13 pan or half sheet pan.
Combine sugar, oil, and honey in a pot and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile add remaining ingredients to a large bowl. Add melted mixture to bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Spread evenly into pan. Cook 10 min. Remove from oven, stir. TURN OFF oven. Put pan back in oven and leave overnight.

This makes granola bits, not bars.

Liquid Soap

You will get different results depending on what type of bar soap you start with.

Liquid Soap
1 Bar Soap
1 c boiling water
1 t glycerine
1 t honey
additional water or herbal tea

Grate soap, add boiling water, and blend until smooth. Add glycerine, honey, and if desired essential oils. Blend. Add additional cool water/herbal tea until mixture equals approximately 6 cups. Blend some more.

This will thicken greatly upon standing, the 6 cups is a good starting point, but realistically it will be somewhere between 6-12cups. Blend a few more times as it cools, adding more cool water as needed. Let it sit check consistency, add more cool water as needed.

Put this into an easily accessible container in case it thickens too much to pour. You will want to be able to blend it with more HOT water in that case.

Expect 1 gallon or more per average bar of soap.
