Autumn Granola

I'll be honest with you, this is a pretty expensive recipe to make but its a hell of a lot cheaper than buying already made granola.  I'm not generally a fan of pumpkin but these seeds fit right in. It makes a lot but that was a challenge Steven rose to.  This is his hand finishing up the last bit while we were in the hospital having Wade.
