Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hooray! We finally talked mother into making her own Trail Mix instead of buying it prepackaged. She called to say she loves it. Old habits are hard to break but the latest recall of trail mix because of tainted nuts was a wake-up call for her. Mother is 89 and bless her heart keeps an open mind. I can only hope to be more like her.By the way she lives on her own and does her own shopping. Mother is close to becoming a Vegetarian. She also made the decision on her own a few years ago to stop driving . She laughs about it now but pulled into an on-coming turn traffic lane on a very busy highway. Thank goodness there was no accident. Mother's trail mix is very simple and easy for a senior citizen to make and snack on. She said to mention that *slivered* almonds, raisins and coconut are easier to chew. So if you have dear senior family members like mine, make up a batch of Trail Mix for them or give them the ingredients to make their own. Check with them first to see what their favorites are. It is a healthy chair side snack and a treat. Mother says that the dried fruit and nuts not only give her energy but take away the cravings for " sweets " .
