Seasonal Snack Mix & More....

2 cups Bugles brand corn snacks
2 cups small pretzels
2 cups Apple Jack Cereal
1 cup candy corn for fall or Christmas mellowcreme candies
1 cup dried cherries or raisins
1 cup salted peanuts
1 cup Traditional colored for fall or Christmas Colored M&Ms-brand chocolate candy

In a large bowl, gently mix all ingredients.

Last night Kent and I made cups and cups and pounds and pounds of the Fall variety. It is very good!! We put 1 cup of mixture in medium size cellophane goodie bags. Then I tied with fall colored curling ribbons. We are going to distribute at our Thanksgiving Service.

Additional we have 2 giveaways for our Thanksgiving Service. Often we do giveaways for visitors for special events. Of course we have drawings for Mother's/Father's Day. Tonight one winner will receive a Thanksgiving basket of vegetables, cranberry sauce, soups, etc - everything for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. The other winner will receive a 20 lb turkey. Our bank frequently does drawings for various prizes. Kent won the Thanksgiving drawing. We decided to share the gifts in our service tonight with 2 blessed persons.

Happy Thanksgiving and happy cooking.... don't dread holiday baking and cooking. If you don't have some traditions that you prepare start this year. Also, try to add some new recipes each year, too. This will show your family you care and work hard to find new things they may enjoy!

Blessings....
