I started this blog...

as a way of compiling all my families favorite recipes all together in one place.
My daughter asked me if I would write down a certain something I make so
she has it when she grows up and has a family. I thought that was a good idea,
so I decided to combine all our favorites and make one big book. It will be a
work in progress and a way for me to ORGANIZE all the recipes stashed in
the cupboard. And I've realized, I like taking pictures of food!

Yummy Trail Mix


1 lg. box rice chex
sunflower seeds
shredded coconut
peanuts
plain and peanut m&m's

Syrup:
2 cubes butter
1 1/2 c. karo syrup
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 t. vanilla

Combine dry ingredients - all except m&m's. Boil syrup on medium for 3 minutes. Pour over dry ingredients and stir. Cool slightly before adding the m&m's. Unless I'm making this for a crowd, I usually half the recipe because it makes a lot. Use a medium size box of chex, 1 cube butter, 3/4 c. karo, 3/4 c. sugar 3/4 t. vanilla.

Ryan requests this all the time at hunting season to take with him. The first year we were married I sent him with eight Ziploc bags of this and he told me all the guys grabbed a bag and had it eaten before he even got any.
