Who's turn is it for snack?

Snack? We need snack? Apparently if you are getting together for church, food is a must. We had a membership class... and snacks were requested. I volunteered…. Well, because no one else did and I like to bake. (is this really baking?)

Last New Year’s Eve my friend Marcia brought this amazing Chex Mix to the party. We all munched on it all night long, then we all requested the recipe! SO good and easy! The only weird ingredient is baking soda… but for some reason it must work and have a purpose. Maybe I’ll have Andy do some research. He’s usually all about that.
