(no subject)

I just whipped up a preliminary batch of Hypoallergenic Power Trail Mix, based solely on what was already in the kitchen:

Roasted peanuts
Roasted sunflower seed kernels
Bran twigs (from "Kashi GoodFriends" cereal)
Granola clusters (from same)
Sweetened dried cranberries
Dried mangoes torn into nibble-sized pieces
Chocolate chips

I am inordinately pleased with myself. Protein, healthy fats, vitamins A and C, fiber, and dense calories, all in a portable, easy-to-eat format. Plus chocolate, which has been scientifically linked to easier temperament in babies. Plus, it's salty. And crunchy. And chewy. And sweet.

Mmmm, salty.
