Granola
I changed my original recipe because I had the cooking time wrong.
3 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup slivered almonds
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup peanuts
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup maple syrup
Combine dry ingredience in a plastic container. Pour the maple syrup on top until everything is lightly saturated. (You can use more if you think you need it, but if you use to much your granola will be a hunk). Cover the container and let it dry in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the flavors to seep in. (If you must have granola you can just cook it now, but the drying overnight really enhances the flavors).
The next day:Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spred the granola out in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes (depending on the oven). The granola should be completly dry and crunchy when cool. Enjoy with your favorite vegan milk of choice (I like vanilla soy), add it to a trail mix, or just take along plain.
I always change the amount and type of nuts and seeds I use. You can do anything you want, as long is it equals a cup. You could also add raisins after cooking.
Chile
I found the recipe here: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=12858.0. I think it tasted very good. I have never used TVP before, so it was a good experience. I like the texture the TVP gives it, and the added protein.
Cornbread
This was also a vegweb.com recipe: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=5729.0. It tasted like the real thing! Nice and moist and perfect.

Yum! Chili and cornbread--great cold-weather food.
Looking forward to making another batch of that granola, as soon as I can get to the store for some more almonds...
I'll have to try your granola recipe. The one I use is loaded with oil, which I'm trying to limit.
We love cornbread with anything but it's especially good with chili.

Your granola sounds great, I'm going to have to try making it soon. Now that the weather is cooling off, I like using my oven alot more.

These are 3 of my favorite things--perfect for "chile" weather.
Laura- I am so glade you like the granola. Thanks for alerting me to the typo in my recipe. I think I am going to try less time because 20 minutes was jsut a little too long.
Midwest- I hate the original idea of granola being loaded with fat to taste good. I actually used a raw fod granola recipe and decided to bake it to create my recipe.
Kaji's Mom- I love using the oven in the winter. It warms up the whole house nad brings people to the kitchen. I hope you like the recipe.
Urban Vegan- Glade you spotted me play on words. I have to admit it was a little corny, but not too corny.
