No-Bake Snack Mix
This is my mom's no-bake snack mix recipe, and it's so much better than other snack mix recipes out there. It's tangy, spicy, and so delicious! I make it for my coworkers for Christmas and always get requests for the recipe. You can vary the proportion of the snacks you use based on what you like. Add more oyster crackers or fewer pretzels, etc. For reference, this recipe probably makes enough snack mix to fill two 1-gallon resealable bags. This also freezes well to stay fresh longer.
Spiced Bacon Twists
The Tuck U Inn at Glick Mansion in Atchison, Kansas serves this for breakfast. People just rave about the caramel, candy coating combination on the bacon!
Brunch Potato Casserole
This brunch potato casserole recipe was given to me, and I continue to pass it down to everyone who tries it. Aside from being so delicious, it's so versatile that I've even used it as a side dish for steak! This can be made the night before, then baked the next day, allowing 10 extra minutes of cooking time.
