For many years, I’ve celebrated Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead. I like to remember people who have touched my life and passed on. Their pictures grace the mantle. We light candles, listen to their favorite music, and eat their favorite foods.

This year, I wanted to have a simple meal that brought together something of everyone who we remember on this day. Mojamix fit the bill. Here’s what we had:

A base of oats, hearty and nourishing, in memory of friend, Natasha, who supported me always

Apples for my grandmother, baker of pies

Strawberries for an old love (why? That’s private)

Almonds for an old neighbour who was kind, if a bit… nutty

Hemp seeds for my great–uncle Alex—well, I probably don’t need to tell you what HE was like

And Pumpkin seeds for mom, who carved with me on Halloween

Every

Year.

Peace to you as we enter the quiet of late fall and start to prepare for winter. It’s that time of year, so watch this space for great ideas for incorporating Mojamix into your holidays. We have great ideas for everyone on your list!
