pantry trail mix

i got the idea for this trail mix from a tweet.

i don't remember who it was from, but they basically said...

grab whatever is in your pantry and mix it up. so i did.

i toasted slivered almonds, cashews, and pecans in the oven for 10 minutes on 350 degrees.

i let them cool and ate several hand fulls.

~the kids came running, asking "mommy what's that yummy smell?"~

i threw the nuts in a bowl and mixed in dried cranberries and chocolate chips.

we ate it all in less than a week.

gary took some in his carry on bag when he flew to alabama. he is trying to loose weight {and doing a fine job, he is down 9lbs}. he was happy to have a healthy snack during his travels.

i made another batch.

yum.
