Kettle Corn Snack Mix
This Kettle Corn Snack Mix is easy, fast, and perfect for a road trip to the beach…or a random Tuesday.
If there is one place in the world I love, it’s the beach. What’s really weird is that I hate sand, water, and generally being outdoors, but the beach is somewhere that I just immediately relax.
Currently, we live outside Sacramento. While there’s a river running through the city, we’re pretty land-locked. Having grown up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m used to living by the water. We may have hardly ever gone to the beach when I was a kid, but it was always there; I could see the bay every time we drove to the freeway. Water is in my blood, and I’m the happiest when I’m close to it.
Y’all know my feelings about where I live, but the one thing I do love about it is the proximity to the mountains. We’re only a little over an hour away from one of my favorite places, Donner Lake (near Lake Tahoe). It’s a calm lake with a really fun beach and we love going at least once a summer. And every time we go, like whenever we go to SF, we wax poetic about how wonderful it would be to have a house there.
Maybe someday…
Going to the beach, for us, is a day filled with sand, sun, fun, and food! I may park my bottom in a beach chair all day, but Mel and Jordan spend hours in the freezing-cold lake. A few weeks ago when we went with some friends, we rented paddle boards. All of us took turns paddling with a view – even the kids! All that activity really makes everyone hungry.
My second favorite part about the beach? THE FOOD. Going to the beach means packing a cooler full of sandwiches, soda, and snacks. The kids go through snacks like water in a 5 hour day! Sometimes I bring whole bags of chips and pretzels and they disappear…and then we stop at Dairy Queen on the way home.
(If only I burned as many calories reading my book as they do swimming!)
On our recent trip to Donner, instead of bringing a bag of chips, I brought this homemade Kettle Corn Snack Mix. It was a huge hit with everyone – kids and adults.
