I love to snack, especially on nuts and dry fruit and with this posting I would like to share with you all my favorite snack.  Dry fruits and nuts are recommended be a part of ones daily diet. 

I mix all my favorite nuts in a bowl and bag them and store them in the refrigerator till I need them.  I pick one up as I go along through out the week.  Since, I am one person who eats like 5 times a day I always have to have a snack with me.

Need:

• 1/2 lb of walnuts
• 1/2 lb of hazelnuts
• 1/2 lb of almonds
• 1/2 lb of roasted chick peas (leblebi)
• 1 cup of dry cranberries
• 1 cup of dry Turkish apricots
• 1 cup of Turkish figs
• 1/2 cup of mini chocolate morsels (can not do without chocolate)
• 1/2 cup of golden raisins
• 1 tablespoon of cloves (gives a nice aroma)

Note: Please feel free to substitute the kinds of nuts you might prefer.  This is what I had in my pantry this week.  This can be prepared with any dry fruits or nuts, example peanuts, cashews, dried pineapples, dried prunes, etc.. 

Preparation: 

Mix all the dry fruits and nuts and add about a 1/2 cup to about 1 cup into zip lock bag. Store in cold environment, pick one up as you go through out your busy week. Great and healthy snack!

Plate and serve to yourself as a snack any time! 
Great guest snack as well.

Bag into zip lock bags and pick one up as you need!
