Chex Party Mix

My mom usually makes Chex Party mix around the Holidays so I have been craving it! : ) I made a batch on New Years Eve, and then I made another on New Years Day!

(It soaks up Champagne pretty well! hehe)

Chex Party Mix


Ingredients:

3 cups Corn Chex® cereal
3 cups Rice Chex® cereal
3 cups Wheat Chex® cereal
1 cup mixed nuts
1 cup bite-size pretzels
1 cup bagel chips, broken into 1-inch pieces
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

I measured out the butter and cereal, but I didn't measure any of the seasonings. And I added a bit more seasoning half way through to make sure it was extra yummy!

Oven Directions:

Heat oven to 250°F. In large bowl, mix cereals, nuts,
pretzels and bagel chips; set aside. In ungreased large roasting pan, melt
butter in oven. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in cereal mixture until
evenly coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to
cool, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container.

Yum! Mix!

Christmas Antique Shopping

Last year ago Nicole and I did a little post Christmas Antique Shopping and it was so much fun we decided to go again this year!!!! And this year, we graciously invited Colin and Matt to join us.

Matthew Jr. is an old pro though, we went with us this summer.

He is an exception to the 'no boys allowed' rule. : )

We had some very yummy lunch and went wandering through old treasures (mixed with weird old junk). I saw a number of things I liked and wanted, but I did buy anything this trip.

I was tempted to get this awesome aqua table, but it was a bit more than I wanted to spend, especially when I didn't have a place in mind to put it!

I also loved this "sofa table" and "coffee table".

Nicole was tempted by this dresser...

I wanted one of these wine caddies, but I didn't get one. Maybe next time! Nicole found one way cheaper than all the others, so she got to take one home!


Nicole maybe you should fill it with wine and invite me over! : )

Colin found some boy antiques...we felt like Mike and Frank! : )
