The leaves are turning and I love hiking or just walking in the neighborhood enjoying the fall colors. As I am hiking, I love to snack on trail mix. Trail mix is a great and healthy snack. You can add your favorite nuts, seeds, and dried fruits to come up with your own recipe.
The family and I love dried cherries, cashews, pistachios, and pumpkin seeds. I came up with this recipe that has our favorites and I added some walnuts and chocolate chips. An easy recipe that the kids can make and enjoy.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great combo of ingredients, esp those cherries and pistachios.
ReplyDeleteGeraldine, wonderful combination of ingredients for your trail-mix - pumkin seeds are my favorite seeds, dried cherries are rather elusive around here but can be tracked down with a bit of an effort.
ReplyDeleteAnd there is just nothing better than hiking in fall with trail-mik in your pockets!
