Movie and Chex Mix

   Happy Saturday everyone,

     I am a bit later for posting today, as I went grocery shopping very early morning soon after they opened (less people that way) and after bringing everything indoors and getting it where it belongs-I decided to rake up more leaves and burn.

   After being in the 20's and low 30's f most of last week, today was a treat with warmer weather and full sunshine. Along the driveway nearest to the upper level where I park my car-the wind brings down allot of leaves along that area. I bagged up one bag at a time and burned it and then got more-ended up doing 4 huge leaf bags. That area is half finished now. We are to have a few more days like this so hoping to finish as long as no wind.

  I wanted to share my favorite vintage Christmas Movie-a must see for me every year.  I probably shared it last year too.  I never got into It's a Wonderful Life like most do. I haven't seen that one in probably 40 years or more I probably should give it another watch one day.

                                            White Christmas

  

I probably enjoy White Christmas so much, because my parents when we were growing up enjoyed musical movies. My Mom also took us into Chicago to see these shows on Broadway.-wow that was a Veryyy long time ago lol Good memories though-she always got us front row seats in the first balcony.

  Do you make Chex mix for the holidays into the New Year?  I don't make it every year, I tend to eat too much at once -cause it is so good-and then regret it later. 😐 It also can have allot of added salt in it. I never add the flavored salt they suggest.

   I had been thinking about making up a big batch, and then a comment came in on my last blog post and that did it-Yes I want to make some. I choose gluten free cheerios, rice and corn cereals and will add gluten free cheese crackers and pretzels. I will leave out the nuts this year. My stomach is Not liking nuts right now.  I was glad I had the Worcestershire sauce in the frig. as the store did not have one bottle of it on the shelves this morning.

   This unknown commenter must have been searching online for the original Chex mix recipe and my 2011 post popped up.  This is a very informative post about the history of Chex mix and the recipes.

"Wanted to thank you for your old post on the history of Chex Party Mix. I remember my Mom making it way back in the 50's and it had Kix corn cereal (There were no corn chex back then.) in it. Friends said I was NUTS - now I know one of the original recipes DID have Kix in it! You should repost that to this site for posterity. The information is hard to find!"

    Do you remember the Kix corn cereal? I do and am wondering now if it is still available to purchase. I didn't see it where I shopped today.

     I also did another post that I shared a gluten free version  I was going to save these two posts for Second on the 2nd come January but decided to share now in case you are looking for recipes.

   Happy Saturday and weekend everyone
