We are doing our first camping trip of the season. We have been enjoying camping for years now and have seen most of Canada and US. We have such a beautiful country. When camping we disconnect from our everyday life and find that it's so peaceful and relaxing. For our first trip we are in Québec and we will visit family tonight. When we get together we like to eat different snacks. Mixing our own mix is fun because we know exactly what we put in it and it's a healthier alternative then buying store-bought snacks. We have a brother-in-law that is celiac and it's important to make sure that he can enjoy the same food as us. During the winter I made this Asian Spicy Chex Mix, which was a success, and decided to try a new recipe using Rice Chex cereal. In case you did not know, Chex is gluten-free, which is a plus for me. I wanted pretzels in my mix and you can now find gluten-free pretzels at the grocery store. You may be surprised that I added curry powder in my mix but it turned out to be delicious. This Chocolate Curry Chex Mix is addictive and delicious!
