Do you have that one snack or meal as a kid that you remember? Maybe it was your favorite? Well, there's a particular snack that I remember loving when I was a kid. When living in Oklahoma, we'd visit my parent's best friends often and my aunt Doe would always have the best snacks in her kitchen. The coolest mason jars, cans and containers of candy, snacks and trail mix. The trail mix was one of my all time favorite's. It was that perfect salty, spicy mix that had all of the really good stuff in it. This was one of the highlights of our trips to their house. I've attempted to do this trail mix several times since living in California and although I've found some good recipes, nothing has compared to aunt Doe's. I decided to ask her for her recipe (I'm not sure why I didn't do that in the first place over the past few attempts). It's a holiday weekend and our church is having a picnic Monday, in which everybody is contributing something. So guess what I'm taking? Yep, you guessed it. I figured this will be a great munchie treat. She gave me permission to share her recipe and I promise, you'll love it! I hope everybody has a wonderful Memorial Day and may we remember who fights for our freedom. God bless America!
