Make your own Trail Mix!
To help with the morning and afternoon munchies, Casey and I have been enjoying individually packaged trail mix from Trader Joe's.
But today---we RAN OUT!
The thought of going back to the grocery store made my heart race! Wasn't I just complaining about how hard it is to go?
On my large list of THINGS TO DO is:
CLEAN OUT THE PANTRY
So this activity helped knock that off my list (well, almost).
I dug into my pantry and made my own trail mix. I didn't even have to leave the house and I got EXACTLY what I love in a trail mix.
Today was a good day!
I measured 1/4 cup of the mix and put it into each of the snack- sized Ziploc bags.
This mix included:
-salted peanuts
-pistachios (never had it in a mix before, but it's good)
-pecans
-raisins
-golden raisins
-almonds
-walnut pieces
-semi-sweet chocolate chips (for Casey's sake)
Look! We have a HUGE bowl full of snacks that on our kitchen island.
Should be a snap grab a few bags on our way to the car in the mornings.
How easy is that? (did I just quote Ina Garten? yikes!)
I should mention that I did have some help with this....
Thanks Coop! You are a good helper!
Desperately trying to figure out a schedule!
hello you!
I'm on my second week back to work. Things have been a bit hectic...our eating habits have definitely changed. I don't have the luxury to make fancy meals as much as I used to. We are actually just eating to maintain! We are also watching our weight...so I can't go hog wild on puff pastry based meals....sigh...
So eating isn't as much of a hobby/treat anymore! I hope to change that soon, as I am reorganizing my life and de-cluttering my house so I can streamline things a bit. You won't believe how much I have to bring with me in order to go to work! It's insane. Oh! and the amount of time I spent cleaning bottles! Jeez....
I do enjoy a nice healthy breakfast every morning though.
My current fave is nonfat yogurt with honey, blueberries & ground flax seeds:
