Let the Game (On!) Begin!

I started playing The Game On! Diet today.

The next four weeks should be...

interesting.

The one aspect of the game I'm most worried about is the food plan (so many rules!).

So, I've been searching for recipes that satisfy the (seriously, so many!) requirements, and I found this recipe for Honey Nut Granola.

Ingredients (I cut these in half it was still a lot):
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:
- Heat the oven to 300F
- In a large bowl, stir oats, nuts and sunflower kernels together.
- In a separate bowl, mix together oil, honey, vanilla and cinnamon.
- Add to dry ingredients; mix well.
- Spread mixture onto two ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven, for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and stir
- Return to oven and bake until golden, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before storing.

With a palm-sized portion (?) of greek yogurt (protein), the oats (carbs) and nuts (fat) make one fully-sanctioned Game On meal.

Whew!  (Only 4 more to go!)
