Coconutty Crunch and Greek Yogurt...YUM!!!
Thank GOD for Linda!!!
If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have come this far. Her recipes are WONDERFUL!!! And there is always something new to make. I never get bored. Thank you so much Linda
Almost everything I cook I get from her site 
I just made her yummy Coconutty Crunch. It's sooooooo good...OMG!!! I was getting bored with Strawberries and Almonds on my Greek Yogurt. This is PERFECT, and DEEEELISH!!! I did the Maple version. I also didn't have the sunflower seeds, but it's still GREAT!!! The pic isn't very good cause I had to take it with my camera phone...lol. Here is the recipe and pic
COCONUTTY CRUNCH
2 ounces walnuts
4 ounces pecans
2 ounces almonds (I like sliced)
2 ounces unsweetened coconut, 1/2 cup
2-4 tablespoons flax meal
1-2 ounces unsalted sunflower kernels
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch salt, optional
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Coarsely chop the nuts; put in a medium bowl. Stir in the coconut, flax meal and sunflower kernels. In a small bowl, mix the butter, sweetener, vanilla and salt. Pour over the nuts and toss to mix well. Spread on a large jelly roll pan and bake at 300ยบ about 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until lightly toasted. Watch closely so it doesn't burn. Mix in the cinnamon; cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
***MAPLE NUT VARIATION:
Use 1-2 teaspoons maple extract, in place of the vanilla, and increase sweetener slightly to taste. Omit cinnamon. Don't try using more extract or it will become bitter.***
Makes about 3 1/2 cups or 13 ounces
Can be frozen
