Kaylyn Cavalier: Merry Merry Munchies {Foodie Friday}

Kaylyn 1To me, recipes are memories.

This recipe passed down from grandmother to granddaughter is host to countless scents, tastes, moments, and celebrations.

My fondest recollection of a recipe memory is my Mamaw’s Trash (or Chex Mix as it is more often called).  Having just celebrated Thanksgiving, I spent a lot of time last week remembering my Mamaw and her warm kitchen full of home canned goods, Schwan’s Ice Cream (hah!) in the freezer, and a yummy treat always waiting to be devoured.

Our entire family coveted the days my Mamaw made Trash. The house always smelled a little bit spicy, a little bit buttery, and a lot loved. She kept it in a huge Tupperware cake  “taker” turned upside down because it was the biggest container she could find. There was always Trash on the holidays, so I suppose that’s why I correlate the two so much!

  4. Spread out evenly between baking sheets, and bake at 250*, stirring every 15 minutes, for an hour.
  5. Sometimes, we add a little hot sauce for a kick, or a little extra Worchester sauce for more spice!
Notes
  1. I think Trash is even better the second day, so save a little to enjoy!
