It's Official...

I have become an adult by entering into the world of BUNCO!! On Thursday night, I hosted for the first time ever a bunco group! I remember when I was a little girl and my mom would have all these women over to the house. They would roll dice for what seemed like hours, and just talk, talk, talk. They would have an absolute blast and they were so loud too! Well that is exactly what my friends and I did on Thursday night. We had so much fun that you would have thought we had not left the house in weeks. One evening was all it took, and I am now a huge fan of bunco. I cannot wait to play next month! It's the perfect game for women...not too much thinking required so you can sit back, relax, and talk the night away!

Jill, and Ellen

I also want to share with you a little treat I made for the evening. This is a great recipe for trail mix that has a little kick to it! This stuff is incredibly addicting, so you better not plan on just having a little. One handful, and you will be back for another!

Ingredients:

1/2 box of Cheez-Its

1/2 bag of Oyster Crackers

1/2 bag of Twisted Pretzels

1/2 jar of Dry Roasted Peanuts

3/4 cup of Canola Oil

1 Tbsp. of Crushed Red Pepper

1 package of Ranch Dressing Mix

Directions:

Mix together the first four ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the oil, red pepper, and ranch dressing and stir until well blended. Pour over the mixture and stir for about 5 minutes. Eat to your heart's content!!

**You can double the recipe since you will already have the first four ingredients. Just make two separate batches or else you lose the flavor.
