Recipe Introduction


What would a cookbook created for men's appetites be without a super snack or two? This healthy version of trail mix is popular with men of all ages (and women, too!). It's crunchy, nutty, sweet, and tangy--and it's a treat to enjoy with-out guilt.
Serves 8 (3/4 cup)

• 1/2 cup (3 ounces) chopped dried apricots
