A splash of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon give this sweet granola recipe some heartwarming, home-style flavor. Mix with plain oatmeal to warm your bones on a snow day, serve with milk before school or layer with non-fat yogurt for a fun and healthy parfait.

 

Ingredients:

 

4 cups old fashioned rolled oats

2 cups sweetened, shredded coconut

2 cups sliced almonds

1 ½ cups dried cherries, chopped

½ cup of vegetable oil

1/3 cup of honey

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

 

Directions:

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Toss the oats, coconut, almonds and cherries together in a large bowl. Pour the vegetable oil and honey over the oat mixture. Add the cinnamon, and stir with a wood spoon until the oats and nuts are coated.

3. Pour onto a sheet pan and bake until the mixture turns a nice and even golden brown. This should take 25 to 30 minutes. Use a spatula to stir the oats every so often!

4. Remove from oven and allow to cool, stirring occasionally. Store in an airtight container.

MOD MOD MOD MOD Im 13 years old and my friend is going to Europe on vacaition for a while this summer. She said I might be able to with.. I want to tell my parents, but they almost will 99% say no.we will have a n adult supervisor, and I would call them each night or in the morning or text them in case of time difference, but i dont think they will understand. It's not fair! What can I tell them to at least get them more comfortable with the idea.

 

Oh, wow, that's an amazing opportunity!  I think it's a good idea to think about what their worries might be.  It sounds like you've already been doing that - offering up some solutions (like calling and texting) is perfect.  Cost might also be a concern, so think about that, too.  If it will help, suggest that your friend's parents (or whoever is going on the trip with you) talk to them about it, too.  Good luck!!

Mod mod Thanx 4 answering my tough question Smile but about the guy who makes fun of me and kinda makes fun of me and gave me a ride home do u think he likes me??? Thanx for all the help

 

Hmm.. I don't know!  It's hard to say for sure, but doing favors and teasing is always a good sign.  This article has more tips for telling if he is into you:   http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/09/16/advice-love-crush-dating.aspx.  But definitely talk to your mom about why she doesn't like this dude - I would hate for you to get tied up with a guy who is trouble!

Mod mod mod Hey I got a problem... Ok so today I found out tht one of my friends (let's call her x) x posted some pic of her in her birthday suit if u no why I mean. Ya I know and she doesn't have the best looking bod because she grew really fast and a ton of ppl have seen it!!! The other thing is tht here is a kid in my grade who makes fun of me and he kinda flirts w/ me but my mom doesnt like him because he is kinda bad...I kinda like him a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit. Anyway he gave me a ride home from school 2ay so wht should I do?????

 

Hey girl, I'm sorry, I don't totally understand what your questions are!  As for the girl, I think you should just stay out of the drama.  It can be easy to get caught up in the gossip, but it would be better to just stay away from it - and definitely don't pass along the pics.  As for the guy, I think you should be honest with your mom, and talk to her about why she doesn't like this guy.  xoxo

I have life-threatening allergies to peanuts and all nuts. I've also been told by my doctor to avoid coconut if possible. Do you know some healthy recipes I can try that are safe for me? It seems like all the healthy recipes have nuts. Thanks!




Hey! how about this http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/05/27/healthy-recipes-salmon-filet.aspx  also ask your doctor and be sure to check all labels for nut products before you make this Smile

***MOD***MOD***MOD***MOD***MOD***MOD*** Okay so I know this is kinda weird, but I need advice about this. I have a friend who I think might have a problem. Whenever we watch a movie, for example we watched the Titanic on Saturday, it sorta becomes her life. That's all she'll talk about for weeks, sometimes even months; she just gets totally obsessed. I think she wishes her life was like the movie. She told me yesterday she wishes the story of Titanic would happen to her. It's starting to totally influence her, and it's been happening for a while with lots of movies, but mainly when their romance ones. It's starting to worry me. What should I do and do you think she needs help? Any other girls that wanna give advice please do! I've already gotten some, but I wanna hear other girls point of view. Post on my profile please. Smile

 

Hey Girl!! She most likely is just having fun with it, maybe she likes theater?! I personally don't think she needs help unless she starts getting obsessed with movies involving any kind of danger or death! If this ever happens talk to a parent or guidance conselor right away! Goodluck girl! XOXO
