Take this energy-packed treat with you when you head to the great outdoors.
Ingredients
1 cup(s) uncooked old fashioned oats
2/3 cup(s) dried cherries, chopped
1/4 cup(s) slivered almonds
1/4 tsp table salt
1 Tbsp Land O Lakes Stick Light Butter, or similar product, melted
1/4 cup(s) honey
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sided sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together rolled oats, cherries, almonds and salt. Drizzle with butter and honey and toss thoroughly.
Spread mixture evenly on sheet pan. Bake, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning, about 20 to 25 minutes; let cool. Yields about 1/3 cup per serving. (You might want to double the recipe and store the mix for a few days in an airtight container.)
Here's another snack I really enjoy! Just thought I'd share! See how serious I am this time girls!
Not sure on points, but all I do is take pita bread, slice it up into wedges, spray a side with olive oil spray, sprinkle some of the Johnny's Garlic Seasoning, flip over, spray a little more olive oil, little more seasoning and then I crisp them up in my toaster oven at 400 (which I think is more like 350, lol... doesn't heat well) and if need be flip them... they usually only take 5 minutes or so cause I like them when they still have some softness to them...
You barely need any olive oil spray and seasoning, so be careful not to over-do!
Those recipe ideas sound great, thanks ladies.
Lots of newbies at the meeting tonight, lots of big ones (like me). I hope they will do well
Jeanne I love your lil devil tracker cute.
I want to go swimming but can't until this darn toe heals over, and yes Dan is the one living in Northern Alberta. He has been very homesick since the beginning of December. He will have been there 11 months, thats not too bad for a first time away from home.
Get this!! I did 39 day shred this morning and swam for an hour after work. My muscles are killing me!!! However, I'll do it again tomorrow!
Mimi, just go get in the pool. People don't even watch you. Is funny because everyone is in their zone. What happen to your toe?
Tina, that's it! Re-engir ements are coming. The people are selling their house! . Actually the onenext to us is for sell. You would have good neighbos!!!!
Tammy, it could be your winter place or summer!!!!
Alright, we live in Texas!!! Please stop sending your COLD weather here!!! I am ready for spring. Not suppose to be out of the 50's and 30's all week! I am sleeping with a tee shirt and sweat shirt on!!!! Brr!!!
I'm all for coming down there, I'll even bring my own sleeping bag (like I ever really slept in one)
Sorry its so cold down there. When you aren't used to it or clothed for it the cold can be hard to take.
Here's a really dumb question?? do you have heaters in your home?
awwwww you poor southerners!!!! I'm sorry you're cold!
When I complain about the cold and snow, bob reminds me that we are the luckiest people on the planet. We have the best and most beautiful of all 4 seasons! I say...........yea, well you didn't just clean off my car!!!
Today I did get my 1 mile walk in on my lunch break and stayed op all day. Until.....now! Urgh! Someone dump out the darn candy gummie sugar plums! And I ate a square of chocolate that I am counting as 2 points! Ahhhhhhhhhh! I just got soooo darn bored!
I hope everyone else is having a great day and staying OP!
I think tonight is the first episode of Biggest Loser.......
Jeanne, I feel your pain. I've got several squares of Godiva chocolate right here, staring me in the face.
I just ate a 4 pt. grilled chicken salad and am still hungry.
Oh Tina........maybe someone should give us both a kick!!!!!!! I LOVE Godiva! I actually bought the little tin of Godiva Choc. balls. Have you seen them? I'd have to look, but I think 8 are 25 cal. (they are tiny....but....soooo good)!
You know, I forgot that I got in the ww cappuccino cream melts for 1 point and put them in purse!!!!! Ok, gotta find my purse! haha!
I'm very proud of myself. This afternoon, I overcame the urge to have chocolate--or anything that sounded good.
Tonght after supper, I had a WW chocolate frozen bar--1 pt.
