My family is doing fairly well on our new Plant Based Diet. We have "fallen of the wagon" a few times but overall are doing well transitioning. The hardest part is not meal time...it's snack time. In our house snack time is usually after dinner and before bed, when we are watching T.V. Chips and salsa get old fast, and Doritos, Cheese-It's and Pringles no longer cut it anymore. We needed healthy (or "healthier") snacks to help us stay off temptation...enter Mama Pea. Mama Pea is a vegan blogger with two little "Peas" (her daughters Lulu and Gigi). Not only does she have some hilarious stories and commentary to go along with most of her recipes she also makes some great-tasting food so when Charles started complaining about needing snacks and threatening to drive to the store and get some Doritos I knew I had to act fast. I searched the "Peas and Thank You" blog and found the perfect snack..."Ain’t No Butter Chex Mix" It's delicious, salty and while it does contain salt and some Earth Balance, it's a snack, not a meal and definitely much better than any other snack I could come up with on short notice. (Except for homemade air-popped popcorn, which is vastly under-appreciated by Charles)
Out of respect for Mama Pea I will not be posting the recipe on my own blog but rather providing the link to her recipe:
Ain't No Butter Chex Mix
P.S. She just announced her App last night "Peas Pantry" which I have downloaded so I can search on the go next time =)
