I’m a chronic snacker. Grazing throughout the day is my weakness and heaven forbid there’s sweets around and I’m stressed, I always reach for the bad for me stuff first. And being home in quarantine? Let’s be honest. It’s not the best for stress eaters. After watching too many packs of cookies disappear, I vowed to start snacking healthier by keeping better-for-me snacks in the house. One thing I’m loving right now is homemade trail mix. It’s the perfect option for snackers like me and when I make it myself, I can control what goes in it. This Sweet and Spicy Trail Mix is my go-to right now
