Sweet and Salty Trail Mix

Everyday between 2:00pm and 5:00pm I get a craving for something snacky. This can be dangerous. So instead of going to the break room and snagging a couple cookies or a handful of cheeto's i've been making my own trail mix at home. Yes, I know you can buy ready made trail mix at the grocery store but picking out the dried sultanas gets old and a little irritating after a while, and the beauty of making your own mix at home is you can do it however you want! For those of you who have a sweet tooth add a handful of M&M's or some sweetened granola! This is my go to recipe, if you don't like a particular nut or fruit just substitute it with whatever you like!

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup peanuts
- 1/4 cashews
- 1/4 almonds
- 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup dried apricot
- 1/4 cup dried pineapple
- 1/4 banana chips
- pinch of salt

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet, sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast for  8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely
- Mix nuts and dried fruit together. Store in an air tight container.
