Snacks

Seed and Spice Delight

Checking the weather this afternoon it say’s it feels like 24 BELOW zero. I have to admit I agree it’s a little cold out. Compared to the last eleven winters I’ve spend in Rural Alaska; today is on the tropical side. Having seen it 60 below with wind chill today is long sleeve weather ! Still a great day to be inside baking up some healthy snacks.

A few weeks ago I made an order for supplies so I could bake up some snacks. One of the adventures of living in the Alaskan Bush you don’t just run to the local grocery store to pick up chia seeds. I managed to get to the post office during the two hours the window is open today and picked up my treasure box.  With the help of my assistant we baked up a batch of yummy snacks for the week.
