Trail Mix Recipe
I don't remember ever buying or making trail mix. I've rarely ever even eaten it. So, why I thought I'd like to buy some tonight, I don't know. And, why I decided to buy the ingredients instead and make my own, I don't know either.I was at Sam's Club, so of course I bought JUMBO-sized bags of ingredients. You KNOW I was hoping I would like this concoction I was about to put together. As it turned out, it's pretty good!
One Layer of unbuttered, popped popcorn
One Layer of cashew halves
One Layer of cranberry raisins (dried cranberries)
One Layer of plain M&Ms
One Layer of uncooked, old-fashioned oat meal
Shake it all together. Put it into snack-sized ziplock bags. Enjoy. :) Repeat as needed.

If you have a trail mix recipe you like, please post it here.
A friend wrote and said, "Oatmeal COOKIE pieces would be much better than uncooked oatmeal." She makes a good point.
That said, I've increased the amount of popcorn, oatmeal flakes and 'raisins', and decreased the amount of chocolate (to try to keep the calories down).
Oh dear. You've made me ponder undieting just to eat this!
Joel, I've lost a few pounds. I'm not sure it's directly related to eating this 'trail mix' recipe, but it's relatively low-calorie, and it keeps me full, so I'm not as hungry for other food.
