With Kyle's new job he spends a lot of time in the field which means he is either not eating or eating junk. I decided for this next rotation that I would make him snacks that he can keep in his truck.
Trail Mix is one of his favorite treats but it's not cheap to buy. I decided to make my own...it was cheaper to make it than it was to buy a small bag. I was able to make 12 baggies with 1 cup of trail mix in each.
In this trail mix there is:
cashews
peanuts
almonds
sunflower seed kernals
m&m's
raisins

Another treat Kyle loves is homemade nutrigrain bars. I love this recipe because I can individually wrap them and freeze them until they are ready to be eaten. One batch can make approximately 15, so it's more than enough to last for the 2 weeks he is in the field.
1 cup butter (or margagine) softened (30 secs in microwave worked well for me)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1 teaspoon almond extract
press 1/2 the mixture into a 9X13 greased baking pan
spread a whole lot of jam (such as strawberry or raspberry preserves) on the top
crumble the rest of the mixture on top of the jam layer
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Cool and cut into bars

These are always a hit, so I definitely suggest making them!
What are some of your go to easy treats?
