It most definitely wouldn’t be a Trench event without good food. We were stressed to the max this week getting everything ready for the deadlift competition / grand opening. My brain was even flighty-er than usual. These cookies are so easy to make you can do it with half a brain at 3 am.
The mantra I live by “Stick to what your good at and do that really well.”
I am good a easy, crafty, home cookin’.
So here you have it – the ‘Trail Mix Bar’. I went to Bulk Barn and bought an assortment of dried fruit and nuts, threw them into some glasses from the dollar store, typed out some labels and waaala a ‘Trail Mix Bar’.
I also baked two cookie recipes. Super easy super tasty. 2 points Erika. BOOM
