BACK TO SCHOOL: POPCORN-BANANA MUNCH MIX

This week we'll share fun ideas for food that can be easily packed in kids lunches. This off-beat snack mix would work in a lunch box for kids -- or for parents. It comes from Faily Fun magazine.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups cheese-flavored popcorn

1/2 to 1 cup banana chips, broken into small pieces

1 cup dry-roasted peanuts

1/2 to 1 cup sweetened, dried cranberries

DIRECTIONS

Measure all ingredients into a big bowl. (You can substitute your family's favorite snack food, if desired).

Stir well. Makes 5 to 6 cups.
