Make Healthy Meals

1-1/4 cup skim milk, juice or water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup dry couscous
2 tablespoons chopped dried apricots
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Heat milk, juice or water, and honey in a saucepan until boiling. Add couscous and cinnamon, and remove from heat. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then add remaining ingredients.

Editor’s Note:

You can add pretty much any dried fruit to this to make it more or less sweet, depending on your tastes. This is not that much like oatmeal, despite how it looks.
