Homemade Gluten Free Party Mix

With a Homemade Gluten Free Party Mix that tastes THIS good, there’s zero reason to buy crappy overprocessed, store bought. I promise!


Homemade Gluten Free Party Mix

Bottom line, making a delicious party mix at home is NOT HARD! It’s fast, you can use whole food ingredients, no preservatives, and extra love. It’s salty and buttery and so dang savory, there is no reason to buy the caca doody anymore. But let’s talk about something else. It’s heavy so skip right on down to the recipe if you aren’t feeling it. You’ve been warned.

Yesterday was kind of hard. If you watched my Instagram stories, I let it all hang out. Normally I try to cope with big emotions on my own, without pulling my community into them; but yesterday, I didn’t. I shared with you that I was feeling invisible. That I was feeling engulfed by the thanklessness of parenting, of blogging, of constantly putting work out there that seemingly disappears into the universe.

I am not a pity party kind of lady. I loathe the victim mentality. I am all for self-advocating, changing things you don’t like, and in general being a warrior. But yesterday just enveloped me. Three kids, always needing something, a husband who has a demanding call of duty, the emotional weight that I carry so that others can feel less burdened, the rooting people on, trying to lift them up, the troubleshooting on recipes, health, supplements I do at no cost TWENTY FOUR SEVEN is just a lot some days. 

But the truth is of course that: I love my kids beyond measure. I love my job. I love writing recipes. I love my spouse. And I love my life. 

But I’ll also say this. Women carry a different, heavier emotional load. We just do. It’s a lot. It adds up. We keep it quiet so we can keep providing emotionally to others. And we burn out. So last night I came clean about my feelings. I needed other women to feel like I saw and understood those heavy things; because of course, we don’t want to overburden others by sharing the load we carry.

Kind of a heavy post for a party mix post right? Well that’s life. Some moments are playing mahjong with friends, drinking prosecco, and snacking on party mix. Other moments are filled with weight and sorrow, with feeling invisible and unthanked. And so here we are. Vacillating in between those sweet and salty spots and everything in between. 

And to celebrate the fun moments, here’s a recipe to share with those you love. Serve it to a crowd of people laughing and sharing in your joys. Prosecco not required.

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
