Southwest snack mix, maybe without the popcorn.
We share recipes and ask and answer questions from “How do you feed your family at night when you don’t walk in the door until 5:30 and you have a soccer game at 6 and piano lessons at 6:15 ... on opposite ends of town?” to “What’s your Thanksgiving menu this year?” to “Remember that punch you made at Christmas? What was the recipe?” So come on in to our virtual dinner group, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let’s start cooking together.

snacks
After school the girls often have popcorn for a snack. Erin now has braces so that is out. I want a quick,easy, simi health but filling snack to have on hand. We all love trail mix. I was thinking of having a container and making seasonal snack mix. I might do 2 containers and keep one peanut free for when we have peanut allergy friends over. Here is a link to one fun one, Seasonal snack mix. I'd love to collect a whole bunch to keep it interesting. I like one I posted here a while ago.
That's a great idea, Eileen. The Southwest link isn't working for me, but I'd love the recipe. Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteI came across this recently from Food & Wine and thought it looked great - chocolate, pb and pretzels, my favorite combos!:) A little more on the sweet treat and less on the healthy spectrum, but I thought I'd share regardless.
2 c coarsely broken mini pretzels
1/4 c brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 c dry milk powder
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 oz mini chocolate candy bars, such as Reese's, chopped into 1/2-in pieces.
Preheat over to 275. In a bowl, combine the pretzels with the sugars, milk powder and butter. Spread the moixture on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the candy.
Also just saw: 4 cups granola, 12 oz. mini chocolate chips, 1/2 c raisins, 1/3 c. each chopped, dried apricots and pineapple.
