Recipe: Forest Trail Mix

Posted on October 3, 2011 at 2:25 PM

Friends of the forest, have I ever shared with you my secret recipe for trail mix? I haven't?  Well, then, get out an index card and add this to your recipe box! It's my favorite food of all time, I honestly think I was a squirrel in a past life, hoarding away nuts and berries the way I do! I finally perfected my mix of ingredients from the Dollar Tree...

  • one bag of cranberry trail mix  (pick out the raisins and peanuts)
  • half a bag of dried cranberries
  • cashews
  • almonds (the vanilla flavored ones were at the 99 cent store so I stocked up!)
  • a bag of pistachios

I don't think you can count it as a recipe if the first ingredient for trail mix is...trail mix.

Why not? The original trail mix contains barely any cranberries and half of it is rainsins and peanuts, which I remove. The end result is improved immensely! I work with what I can find at the dollar stores, and like to keep track of different combinations for future reference.

Well think about it like this. If you have a chicken, and you give it a hat, did you make a chicken?
