Hikeathon--Is that a word????

March 7, 2008 / by angiedw

Easy Trail Mix                                 

Wheat Chexs

Whole wheat Cheerios

Dried Cranberries or any dried fruit (dried cherries-yum)

Light raisins

Nuts--almonds, walnuts, pecans (any kind that you like will do)

Sunflower seeds

I will not put specific amounts since these would vary according to the quantity that you wish to make.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

In a large bowl, mix cereal and nuts. Add small amount of honey and toss together. Spread on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Bake mixture 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once. Remove cookie sheet from oven, transfer to bowl and add fruit. Mix together and when cool place in ziplock bags.

 

This is a high energy snack that we can take along to munch on while we hike the trails

    Oooooo, tasty! The perfect accompaniment to my Munchathon, which will run concurrently with my Hikeathon! Laughing

    Now Munchathon is something in which I excell! Do you have your binoculars?

  • ChihulahuaLover said 8 months ago

    Sounds soooo good.  I am going to a store called Sprouts later today.  They have all kinds of dried fruits and stuff.Smile

    You go girl. Don't take too long shopping or you will fall behind on the trail!

  • ChihulahuaLover said 8 months ago

    That is true.  Need to make some of those granola bars too that Martne had on her blog along with what you have on yours.Smile

    Those are on my agenda for this weekend also. They sound so very yummy! And we can indulge for they are filled with only those things good for us, right?

  • ChihulahuaLover said 8 months ago

    That is what makes them so good is you know you are eating things that are good for you!!Smile

    Jenn

  • angiedw said 8 months ago

    I must remember to practice moderation even in the things that are so very good for us!

  • ChihulahuaLover said 8 months ago

    That is very true.  I have to practice that with everything.  If I am on my feet and this leg too much like last weekend then I pay for it.  My leg and foot are still swollen and hurt from being on it too much last Saturday. Ugh!!

  • angiedw said 8 months ago

    Sorry, kiddo. Bummer and double bummer!

  • ChihulahuaLover said 8 months ago

    Me too it is a bummer but something that I will have to live with and just have to remember my limits and know that I just can't do like used to.

    I was thinking of adding dates and figs to this mix too!! What do you think Angie?  Have a good day Angie!!! Are you getting that storm I'm hearing about on the radio??? Be warn and safe!!!

  • martne said 8 months ago

    I don't have any binoculars, but maybe I can borrow yours or anniel's? I've got my camera though! This is going to be a fun discovery day!

  • mellowdee said 8 months ago
