    This Sour Patched Trail Mix recipe is full of flavor, including a (totally natural!) sweet & sour kick.  It's addictive.

    Article Courtesy:  Mary Fran Wiley

    Life has been missing a little bit of its sparkle lately. Things that used to make me happy are just sort of there. My hands don’t want to knit anymore. My lips have been having a hard time remembering how to smile. My heart has started to feel a little heavier. I think I might have a case of the mean reds.

    “The blues are because you’re getting fat, and maybe it’s been raining too long. You’re just sad, that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid, and you don’t know what you’re afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?” – Holly Golightly

    Yes, Holly, I do.   And I needed some cheering up, so I thought putting sunshine in a jar might help.

    about this trail mix:

    Today’s gluten-free trail mix is just that. Sunshine and childhood all bottled up. Dried pineapple is intensely sweet and chewy. The coconut flakes are just crunchy enough. But the real star of this mix is the goldenberry. Also called the  Cape Gooseberry or the Inca Berry, they are native to South America. They are both sweet and tart, just like some of my favorite candies – without all the chemical junk. They are supposedly full of bioflavonoids, vitamin A, betacarotene and anti-oxidants. They even contain a bit of protein. (The internets call them a superfruit. I call them candy.)

    swapping for goldenberry:

    The star of this mix is the goldenberry. If you can’t get your hands on those, dried sour cherries would work in their place.
