Fall is in full force with the holidays coming up right around the corner, which means chilly nights, warm fires, cozying up with blankets, and lots of yummy fall spices. I love the cranberry, cinnamon, and nutmeg flavors. They instantly make me feel warm, happy, and cozy. One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is in a healthy snack, such as a trail mix.
