Everything Chex Mix

February 12, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t think I’ve ever met a Chex mix that I didn’t like. And when I heard that we were going to be stuck inside for a few days with icy weather outside, I thought it would be a great time to warm the place up with some homemade oven baked Chex mix.

This time I decided to go with another trending flavor, and that’s ‘Everything but the…’ seasoning. You know, the famous stuff that they sprinkle on ‘Everything Bagels’? I’ve used it a lot in the past, as I’m sure everyone has, and I always love it. With this Chex mix, it’s no different…

Broccoli Turkey Cheese Pretzel Pockets

I've been working hard for the past few years with coming up with interesting ways to use up that leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. One of my most recent favorites was this Skinny 'Leftover' Turkey Salad, and one of my favorites from years past was the Skinny Turkey & Wild Rice Soup.

I still have another idea that I plan to have up some time after Thanksgiving, but I must say that this Broccoli Turkey Cheese Pretzel Pocket will be hard to beat!

What's better is that this Pretzel Pocket is easy to make and de{light}ful for both kids and adults. I mean, who doesn't love a soft pretzel that's been stuffed with turkey, broccoli, and oozy-gooey cheese?

Cheesy Ranch Chex™ Mix

Holidays are full of tradition, and one of the traditions that I lacked as a child but have picked up on my adult years is homemade Chex™ Mix! A couple of years back now my mom came over and made up GIANT batch of Chex Mix for us all to enjoy. She made as many flavor combinations as we could think up on.

It's become our tradition to have mix with us almost everywhere we go during the holiday season. My mom takes it to every party, event, and get together. It's always a huge hit, not matter what flavor combination it is, it's always a winner!

I'm not sure exactly what sparked up my mother's sudden desire to start the Chex Mix tradition, but I sure am glad that it happened. I love it when my mom loves food as much as I do...

What can I say? I have a four year old, and one thing that I've always got plenty of is Goldfish snacks! I think I have a pantry full of nearly every flavor that's offered. Some sweet. Some savory. All delicious. I'm always trying to come up with fun and playful things to do with the tasty little snacks that we all know and love. Today, I'm thinking way outside the box (and the bag) though.

With spring fast approaching I knew that I wanted to create something light, sweet, rather guilt-free, and easy enough that it could be done while chasing around the kiddos or even make use of some helping little hands. This rich and creamy Skinny Peanut Butter Cheesecake was the perfect solution! I'm sure you're wondering by now... why I'm talking about a cheesecake rather than some sort of trail mix. Well, the answer is simple. The Goldfish pretzels are what makes up the crust of this decadent beauty!...
