The weather is just getting so nice out! Chaya and the kids went hiking yesterday and it was a perfect ending to such a tremendously significant holiday.
Today we have a guest blog post from our friends over at JustBackpacksOnline.com on a cool new trail mix recipe that I cannot wait to try this year!
Vanilla Fruit and Nut Trail Mix
Dry Mixture:
1 1/2 cups oat meal
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup cashews or brazil nuts
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup dried cranberries
½ cup raisins
1/2 cup coconut (or to taste)
cinnamon to taste
Wet Mixture:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1/4 cup honey
Directions:
Stir the dry mixture together in a large bowl. Pour the wet mixture over the dry. Toss gently, to ensure it is well-coated. Turn out onto an oiled baking sheet. Bake at 375 for about 20-30 minutes, or until lightly browned. When you take it out of the oven, allow it to cool before serving or storing. Feel free to sprinkle cinnamon on individual serving to add additional flavor.
This is a great recipe for the kids’ lunches, as well as for the trail or campsite, or roadtrip menu.
