ard during Cool Cars when it was at its peak. This doesn’t make sense,” said Uslander, who lives in Bensenville.

Elmhurst Fire Chief Jeffery Bacidore responded to calls via email stating his concerns are the same as the committee.

The report also removes 10 special food vendor spots in the Schiller Passageway, which are allowed during automobile exhibition events since Cool Cars Under the Stars won’t be held this year.

“We’ll always be looking at this ordinance,” Wagner said.

He explained as the downtown changes, new discussions and analysis are necessary.

“Change is usually good,” he said.

Uslander said she’s seen the downtown change a lot over the past 23 years, but not always for the best.

“It was just such a quaint town, and it had such character ... it’s lost that,” she said.

She started her hot dog cart in tribute to her own childhood in Chicago when she remembers her family would stop by a cart on Milwaukee Avenue for a few dogs during a busy Saturday afternoon of shopping.

In Elmhurst, seniors often

stop by and tell her which Chicago hot dog carts they remember visiting during their childhood, and young parents come by with their children because they remember Uslander’s cart from their childhood.

“I’ve now created those memories for them that I have,” Uslander said.

Uslander likes her spot because, not only can patrons on York Street see her cart’s umbrella, but through the Schiller passage shoppers on Addison Avenue can see if she’s there.

She worries that, on the other side of York, Addison shoppers won’t be able to spot her through the passage.

“There are other vendors that are probably willing to be at that location,” Wagner said.

“This is not about the hot dog lady.”

While Uslander usually rolls out her cart in April, she’s been left in limbo while the city considers moving her across the street.

The Elmhurst City Council is expected to vote on the committee’s report at Monday’s meeting.

Those who wish to support Uslander can see her petition at http://shawurl.com/135p.

During a heart attack, a delay in care means damage to your heart. Which is why Elmhurst Memorial Hospital is proud to provide some of the fastest arrival to treatment times in the country. Last year alone, our average door to treatment time was just 60 minutes. With a national average of over an hour and a half, that’s a difference that saves heart muscle and lives.

ELMHURST – For 23 years, generations of Elmhurst residents and visitors have picked up a Vienna Beef hot dog from Pamela Uslander’s cart at York Street and the Schiller Passageway. But now, the self-proclaimed “Hot Dog Lady of Elmhurst” is fighting to keep her spot.

“I see some of the people more than I see my own family,” said Uslander of the relationships she’s made with customers and regulars in the downtown.

She’s gathered more than 300 signatures over the past week on the website www. change.org.

The Elmhurst City Council will vote on a report from the Public Affairs and Safety Committee, which permanently eliminates Uslander’s spot from the approved locations for pushcart food vendors.

The report also recommends the council eliminate Uslander’s location and the southeast corner of Addison Avenue and Second Street from the four locations currently allowed. That leaves the

her annual license fee of $500.

While the committee did review the pushcart food vendor license fee, the report recommends the fee not be adjusted.

Assistant City Manager Mike Kopp said city staff brought the ordinance to the committee for review.

“We took a look at the change in City Centre,” said committee chairman and Seventh Ward Alderman Patrick Wagner.

The committee’s report cites “concerns over the safety and practicality” of the two downtown locations in jeopardy.

“Current congestion and potential construction throughout the area” are also mentioned in the report.

He said the only approved construction project in the area now is the Addison Park Deck.

“There’s already a four story parking deck approved,” Wagner said.

Because of that, Wagner believes the retail on the first floor of the project will increase foot traffic in the Schiller Passage. While he said the committee didn’t see an increase in pedestrian traffic recently, he said the committee would like to open the Schiller passage.

Council to address Hahn Street project, impact fee

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – March gave the Elmhurst City Council a week off with a fifth Monday in the month. Here are a couple issues looming as Monday’s meeting approaches.

Hahn Street understanding The City Council previously voted to have the city attorney prepare the proper documents to approve a Memorandum of Understanding for the Hahn Street Redevelopment Project.

With a 9-to-4 vote in January, the council chose Morningside Group to develop a

six-story mixed use building, which will include first-floor retail, public green space, public parking and luxury rentals.

The project will be built on the city-owned property on Hahn Street between Addison Avenue and York Street.

The memorandum between the city and the chosen developer, Morningside Hahn LLC, allows for continued negotiations. During a 180-day period, Morningside will be the designated developer, city staff and the developer will negotiate a redevelopment agreement and Morningside will be able to apply for subdivision and zoning entitlements necessary for the project.

A six-story building would require a conditional use permit similar to the one the city is seeking for the Addison Parking Deck project. In this case, Morningside would be applying for zoning allowances.

The City Council is expected to vote on the final memorandum at an upcoming meeting.

Impact fees review A referral by Mayor Steve Morley and two aldermen for Elmhurst to review its current impact fees is expected on Monday’s agenda.

Morley, along with Sixth Ward Alderman Jim Kenne-

dy and Third Ward Alderman Dannee Polomsky, requested the referral be sent to the Finance, Council Affairs and Administrative Services after meeting with District 205 and Elmhurst Park District representatives.

The current impact fees were established in 2006. With 56 houses expected to go up on the former Elmhurst Memorial Berteau Avenue property, a city news release stated the impact fee should be increased to meet market expectations and adhere to the current Elmhurst code.

Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 now receives $6,500 for every new

single family housing unit, and the park district receives $1,500, according to a city news release.

The fee is meant to offset the one-time property tax gap created when new additional housing is added to the community. The fee only applies to housing added to the community, not replaced housing.

Chris Blum, District 205 Finance and Operations Committee chairman, estimated in November that the redevelopment could cost the school district anywhere from $50,000 to $95,000 per new home.

The Berteau property redevelopment is expected to begin fall of 2014.

As part of the Addison Parking Deck project, the city applied for the grant to cover the cost of repaving the east side of the street with permeable pavers and changing the angled street parking to parallel spots, said Assistant City Manager Mike Kopp.

The project will cost $117,000 total and replace the east side of Addison Avenue between First and Second streets with permeable pavers.

York cheerleader to compete for spot on big screen

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Three weeks ago, Annalise Haarstad was thrilled to make an all-star cheer team.

Now, she’s looking forward to a national competition and an appearance on the movie screen.

“It’s definitely exciting,” the York High School junior said.

Haarstad will compete with the ICE All-Stars Lady Lightning team this weekend at the Nfinity Champions League two-day competition in Atlanta, Ga. The competition brings 30 of the top allstar teams in the country together to compete in a unique event that will be filmed.

The 30 teams include all three size categories as well as all-women and co-ed teams.

The event will be filmed and screened across the country four days later. Area residents can look for Haarstad in the documentary Thursday at AMC Yorktown 17.

If you go What: The Champions League Cheerleading Event movie Where: AMC Yorktown 17, 80 Yorktown Shopping Center, Lombard When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday Tickets: $12.50 Info: www.amctheatres.com or 630-495-0012

“There’s a lot of pressure,” Haarstad said.

A member of York’s varsity cheer team, Haarstad chose to cheer for her high school team instead of an all-star team, which is competition focused and doesn’t perform at sports games. The two seasons interfere, but when one of the Lady Lightning cheerleaders got injured, Haarstad’s assistant coach recommended her to fill in.

“It’s awesome to be a part of because these girls are so good,” Haarstad said.

The Lady Lightning is a

small, senior-level five cheer team that trains at ICE in Aurora. The group finished third at the 2013 Cheerleading Worlds.

The daughter of two competitive gymnasts, Haarstad grew up tumbling, but said most people don’t realize the strength cheerleading demands.

“Some of these girls are probably stronger than some guys at my school,” she said.

In addition to her threehour practices four days a week, Haarstad said her father still helps her with her tumbling, and she puts in extra hours weight lifting in the gym.

“When people think of cheerleading, they think of girls standing on the sideline,” Haarstad said.

That won’t be the case this weekend. Instead, Haarstad and the Lady Lightning will be center stage tumbling, cheering and hoisting each other into the air.

Police responded to a call for shots fired outside Fitz’s Spare Keys, 119 N. York St. When officers arrived they found Carr hiding under a truck in an alley, according to police reports.

Witnesses identified Carr as the man whom fired what looked like a handgun.

Two people had injuries from a fight with Carr before he fired the blank gun.

Dressed in an orange T-shirt and pants, Schumacher listened to the charge against him as Judge Daniel P. Guerin explained his responsibility to ap-

pear on all court dates, even if he makes bail on his $100,000 bond.

Schumacher allegedly made a comment about “ w e l l p l a c e d Glenn pressure cooker Schumacher pots” along the St. Patrick’s Day Parade route at about 3 p.m. March 7 on a local news website. The comment was later removed.

The city of Elmhurst released a statement the morning of the parade stating that Elmhurst police had investigated the threat. Police determined there was no threat, and the parade continued as planned with

Elmhurst library takes trip back to 1920s with book events This spring, Elmhurst Public Library focuses on that gin-guzzling, jazz-swinging, Lindy-hopping time in Chicago’s storied past: the 1920s.

We’re highlighting two books about this era in Chicago’s history. “City of Scoundrels” by Gary Krist tells about a twoweek period in 1919, from a dirigible crashing into a busy downtown bank to one of the worst urban riots in American history.

“Deadly Valentines” by Jeffrey Gusfield chronicles the story of Al Capone’s henchman, Jack McGurn, who eluded the Chicago police following the 1929 St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.

At the headline event of the spring, both authors share their insights, answer your questions and sign books at 7 p.m. April 24 at Elmhurst College’s Hammerschmidt Chapel.

In addition, the library is hosting several other “Notorious” events, including: • A film screening about the Chicago underground, April 5; • Adult book discussions on “City of Scoundrels,” April 16 and 17.

• Kids’ book discussion on “Al Capone Does My Shirts, Shoes, and Homework,” April 14.

Last year’s headline event with author A.J. Jacobs was unfortunately canceled due to the flooding in Elmhurst. This year, we’re hoping for blue skies and dry basements as we Charleston our way back in history to great programs and books this spring. Learn more at elmlib.org/notorious.

Julie Stiegemeyer is communications assistant and Margie Kollbocker is an adult services librarian at Elmhurst Public Library.

Linda Ekendahl of Elmhurst shows off a Spongebob Squarepants Edible Arrangement at her store, 206 North York Street.

Congratulations to Edible Arrangements of Elmhurst and owner Linda Ekendahl on 10 years of business. Ekendahl talks about falling in love with Elmhurst after moving to the city from Connecticut, and given the store’s success, it’s evident that the feeling is mutual.

Two overdose deaths in the span of eight days. That’s what Elmhurst police reported recently after the deaths of an Elmhurst teen on March 13 and a Chicago man on March 21. Despite a significant rise in outreach by area officials and advocacy groups in the past year, particularly on the topic of heroin abuse, it’s clear that this is a problem that’s not going away easily.

About 9:30 a.m. Saturday, March 22, I heard water running (sounded like Niagara Falls). In our bathroom, hot water and steam were shooting out from under the sink. My husband, being in a wheelchair, could not help. Our son’s phone was not on at that time. I called 911 and was transferred to the fire department. On the telephone, they made sure there were no electrical outlets by the floor so we would not be electrocuted. Within minutes, three firefighters were coming up my driveway. They assessed the situation and took care of the problem for us. What a great comfort it is to know whatever the emergency is, our Glen Ellyn Fire Department is there to help. I am so grateful, and I want to say “thank you” from the bottom of my heart.

Suburban Life Magazine will host a luncheon in May in honor of the first Suburban Life Magazine Women of Distinction awards.

“I think it’s important to recognize women who are leaders in their community,” Suburban Life Media Promotions Manager Kelsey Rakers said.

The awards recognize women living or working in Chica-

go’s western suburbs. The committee looked for women who have made a difference in their local community and shown leadership in their career field.

This is the first year Shaw Media has brought the awards to the western suburbs, but the company has recognized women in McHenry, Kane and Lake counties in years past.

Two lives were saved from heroin overdose in a five-day span thanks to the DuPage Narcan Program, according to the DuPage County Health Department.

A sheriff’s deputy used Narcan, a nonaddictive drug that can reverse a potentially fatal overdose, on March 22 to assist a 32-year-old woman in unincorporated DuPage County near Villa Park, marking the first life saved through the program, the health department said. The deputy was responding to a call of a sick person about 1:20 a.m.

“This is the first case of DNP-issued Narcan saving a life, and we expect that trend to continue. More lives will be saved, and that is the ultimate goal of this county partnership,” health department Executive Director Karen Ayala said in a news release.

Elmhurst Rotary Club to host fundraiser SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Friday, April 11, 2014 • 6:30 – 10:30 pm Danada House in Wheaton • Tickets: $85 each VINE brings together the culinary delights of My Chef Catering with delicious sips from local wineries and breweries. Join us!

Proceeds from VINE benefit the programs and services of Teen Parent Connection.

For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit www.teenparentconnection.org Suburban Life bashpartyplanning.com

March 26, the program notched its second save. Hanover Park police responded to a call of a sick person about 9 p.m. and reversed the overdose of a 29-year-old man.

“The fact that our department just completed the DNP training a week ago and already put this life-saving training to use to save a life is amazing,” Hanover Park Police Chief David Webb said in a release.

The DuPage Narcan Program is a response to the rising number of DuPage County heroin-related deaths in recent years, including 46 in 2013.

Training began in November to teach DuPage County law enforcement personnel how to identify symptoms of an overdose and how to administer Narcan. More than 1,200 officers in DuPage County are expected to be equipped with Narcan by May.

ELMHURST – The Elmhurst Rotary Club will host the Transforming Lives Through Education fundraiser this month.

This year’s spotlight charities are Children UP and A New Day Cambodia. Children UP focuses on children living in rural northern Uganda and provides them the opportunity to pursue secondary education. A New Day Cambodia is an international relief and development organization that provides shelter, food and education for children in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The fundraiser features a raffle drawing for a $10,000 first prize, a $1,000 second

prize and $500 third prize.

Only 350 tickets will be sold and are available from club members for a $100 donation.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Elmhurst Rotary Charitable Trust Fund.

The evening begins with a social hour and hors d’ oeuvres, followed by dinner, a silent and live auction, entertainment and dancing.

The fundraiser starts at 6 p.m. April 26 at the Butterfield Country Club, 2800 Midwest Road, Oak Brook.

For information, raffle tickets, dinner tickets or underwriting, contact Kevin Kost at 708-267-3987 or visit the club website at www.elmhurstrotary.org.

Restaurant reviews

Mago conjures lively setting for Mexican dining BOLINGBROOK – When dining out, sometimes it’s nice to get hit with some degree of spectacle – bright colors, live music and big tastes. For those times, Mago Grill & Cantina in Bolingbrook is a fine place to indulge in elevated Mexican fare.

The decor hits you like a hot pepper. The walls are painted in bright purple and orange, with the restaurant’s name in giant, pop-art letters adorning one side. Rows of luchador masks line the back walls. Another wall shows off row upon row of various tequilas and spirits, all in colorful displays. A live mariachi band began playing among patrons as my date and I left – and the table they were singing to seemed delighted.

The meal started like many do at Mexican restaurants, with chips and salsa. Mago, however, upped the ante with warm chips and a trio of three brightly colored and wonderfully fresh and flavorful salsas. The cilantro-based one was a personal favorite.

We followed with a ceviche tasting, featuring a citrusy shrimp, lime and cilantro tilapia, and scallop chile.

Much like their salsa predecessors, all three were highly distinctive. The scallop, in particular, was well-cooked and deftly balanced with some vinegar acidity. The shrimp dish included olive tidbits, adding a layer of complexity and welcome contrast with the other two.

And the main events – the chicken mole and the beef and cheese chile rellenos – both deeply impressed.

I noticed that Mago devoted an entire page of the menu to five different types of mole sauces and their eight meat

More photos online To see more photos from Mago, find this story online at PlanitLife.com/mysterydiner pairings, explaining the lengthy preparation needed to make them just right. Thankfully, that time and dedication were evident in the flavor.

The mole ranchero, featuring chile ancho, chile pasilla and pumpkin seeds, was very straightforward, but had a ring of authentic smokiness that screamed care and love.

And simply put, the rellenos were some of the best I have ever had. Both the cheese and beef versions were perfectly breaded and fried, with nary a bit of batter coming off the peppers as you ate them.

But the true test was my date, who is a connoisseur of the stuff. She, too, gave them the stamp of approval – they managed to have strong flavors without overpowering any one ingredient. The beef was well-seasoned and stood its own under delicious heaps of sauce, while the cheese had just enough body to remain intact yet perfectly melted.

Slew of newcomers in place for York Dukes return three, hope for better outcome

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com

EHP

ELMHURST – York’s baseball team has just three players that saw significant playing time last year, so there are a lot of new faces in the Dukes’ lineup and pitching staff.

Anthony Santos, the team’s top pitcher and middle of the order first baseman, leads the way. Santos had a quality start in the team’s 4-3 season-opening loss to Waubonsie Valley on Saturday and is committed to Blackhawk Community College.

Brothers Jake and Seth Dvorak also were regulars in the lineup last year, and they follow Santos in the batting order. Seth also is pitching this year and took a hard-luck loss in a 2-1 defeat to Rolling Meadows on Monday.

Seniors Brendan Ryan, Jack Polte and Nick Leone are all varsity returners but didn’t play much last spring.

“We’ve got 13 seniors on the roster so there’s some experience, but there’s not a lot of experience,” coach Dave Kalal said. “We’ve got a good mix of juniors that are athletic and are working hard. We’re just trying to find our way.”

Despite the youth, Kalal still has hopes that the Dukes can compete in the West Suburban Silver. York won the league in 2012 but was just 8-10 in the Silver last year.

“I think we feel as a program we have a chance to compete in the conference,” Kalal said. “We know that it’s Oak Park and LT and whatever other five teams in the conference

In order to compete with the Huskies and Lions, York will need a handful of juniors to play well right away. Con-

ference play starts Saturday with the Dukes beginning a three-game series against Oak Park-River Forest. Juniors Nolan Spencer and Sam Craggs will be key as tablesetters in the York lineup.

IC Catholic’s Clark Brinkman slides into third base Monday in a game against Lisle. Brinkman is part of a solid senior core that is returning for the Knights this spring.

IC plans to compete in conference, postseason

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – IC Catholic’s baseball team has some talent on the field, but it’s the field itself that is generating some buzz in the area.

The Knights are playing on the newly installed turf at Plunkett Park and enjoying the benefits of a surface that can better endure the unpleasant spring weather that comes in the Chicago area. As a result, IC already had seven games under its belt entering Thursday’s scheduled game against Northridge.

The first 11 games on IC’s schedule are at home because everyone wants to play on the turf to increase the odds of getting a game in. In addition

Max Faut sr.

Ryan Russ sr.

Sean Sutton sr.

OF/P IF/P OF/P SS/P

to being able to get outside earlier and more consistently for both games and practices, the Knights have rented the field out to other teams to play.

That also means IC has played a lot of teams in their season openers.

“Our first four out of five games we faced all Division I pitchers because we were

their first game of the year,” coach Zach Rodeghero said.

“That’s good competition for us.”

Seniors Clark Brinkman, Sean Sutton, Ryan Russ and Max Faut give the team a strong returning core. In addition, freshman catcher Austin Reed has already seen some success at the varsity level.

“We definitely want to be very competitive in conference,” Rodeghero said of the Suburban Christian Conference. “It’s tough because we’re one of the smaller schools, but we want to be competitive in conference. Then win the regional. We have a tough regional, but if you get by the regional then we could easily go downstate kind of like Lisle did last year.”

WESTERN SPRINGS – With a lot of new faces and a first-year coach, York’s girls soccer is enduring early struggles against high-quality competition.

The Dukes lost the West Suburban Silver opener at Lyons Township on Tuesday with a lone goal being enough for the Lions to come out victorious, 1-0.

Erin Fitzgerald’s cross connected with Gabby Hart for LT’s goal in the 55th minute.

York’s Alyssa Kovatchis and Catherine Kent tried to get the York offense going, but the Dukes managed just one shot on goal for the match.

“We’re learning,” York coach Don Vana said. “We only have three girls that started last year. We’re missing a few girls on spring break. We’re coming along. We’re young as far as game experience on the varsity level, and that kind of showed at times.”

Kovatchis, a junior who led York in scoring last season, and Kent, a senior committed to Loyola who didn’t play for

the Dukes last season, are the team’s most talented attacking players. They showed flashes of that talent against the Lions, but the duo are still working on their chemistry.

“We’re trying to work together a lot,” Kovatchis said.

“We’re trying to get that to work, but it’s difficult. We’re trying to get other people open ... on the sides to get crosses in and finish. We’ll see how that works out.”

York fell to 1-2 with the loss to LT. It also lost to Benet 4-2 in the season opener. Kovatchis did score the only goal in a 1-0 win against St. Ignatius on Saturday.

The Dukes hope to string wins together when they return to action April 8 against Proviso West in another WSS match. After that York will get in a number of games as part of the Pepsi Showdown.

Last season, York made the semifinals of the tournament.

“It’s a little different than what we had last year,” Kovatchis said. “We’re coming together nicely. It was a tough loss [Tuesday], but I think we’re looking pretty good.”

BASEBALL PREVIEW

Timothy Christian looks to returning twosome SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA ELMHURST – Most of the Timothy Christian’s baseball team from a year ago graduated, but two key players are back.

Senior Mike Wieringa and talented sophomore Cole Miller were both solid players a year ago and helped the Trojans advance to the regional championship game in the postseason. Now that duo will be the core of the team.

Miller hit .301 as a freshman and Wieringa tied for the team lead with 20 runs scored.

Experience is not the team’s strength. Wieringa will be the only senior on the team. In addition, four freshman, Josh Anderson, Michael Bieterman, Noah Marrera and Joey Davidson, are on the roster.

Tourney title part of success for seventh grade Airborne

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

ED • Friday, April 4, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

JESSICA CONENNA IC Catholic Junior | Softball Why Conenna was selected: From March 27 to March 29, Conenna started all three games and gave up three runs in 12 innings while striking out 19 and was 6-for-8 at the plate.

Did you expect the team to get off to such a winning start?

We expected to go 5-0.

We’re playing teams we

know we can beat. We just wanted to get the feel of it.

What are your expectations this season?

We want to make a deep run in the playoffs. We have a lot of core people back, so we hope to go further than last year.

What made you want to commit to Northern Illinois?

I knew I wanted to stay close to home, and it’s only an hour drive away. I was at a camp in Peoria where a ton of Division I schools were at. Coach [Christina] Sutcliffe helped me with my pitching. I was assigned to her team when we played games. She has so much energy and she brings so much intensity to games. I wanted to go where the coach was a pitcher, and she was.

! Groceries are packed with seafood and coupon deals. ! Fast-food joints are rolling out sandies with names such as Reel Big Fillet (Arby’s) and the Premium Alaskan (BK), which replaced the politically incorrect Whaler. KFC is fighting back with its Colonel’s Double Fillet monster.

JIM HILLIBISH ! McDonald’s hopes to beat last year’s sales of 296 million Filet-O-Fish with cheese, says spokeswoman Dayna Proud. Some 30 percent happens during Lent. That’s nearly four times what they sell on a normal day. The fried fish balls, Fish McBites, help power the excitement. ! And then we have all those fish frys at nearly every Catholic church, consuming tons of frozen white fish.

Those who eat in do their part. Seafood Business tracked Lent sales and found cod is the king with 60 percent more sales, followed by talapia at 32 percent and salmon at 30 percent.

If you’re tired of all this fish noise, there are some Lent-conscious recipes that accomplish the task. Try some of these when you cannot look at another fried pollock.

Lovin’ Lent

BRANDPOINT

Healthy food that also tastes good is always in vogue, and now it’s getting a spring makeover.

The theme of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and National Nutrition Month this March is “Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right.”

As spring approaches and fitness routines move outdoors, remember that healthy snacks can fuel a workout and get you through the day.

Becci Twombley, director of sports nutrition at the University of Southern California and ambassador for the American Pistachio Growers, suggests some snacking experiments: 1. Pick one proteinbased ingredient and think about different ways to eat it. Twombley often recommends pistachios as a performance snack because, calorie-for-calorie, pistachios pack more protein than most common snacks.

As a snack ingredient, pistachios can be baked into homemade energy bars, sprinkled on yogurt or combined with dried fruit in a makeyour-own trail mix.

2. Work backwards.

Think about your favorite snacks, and then experiment with different ways to add new proteins to that snack.

Love the portability of sport bars, but not the lengthy ingredient list that can accompany some store-bought brands? Instead, make your own sport bars to control the ingredients in your own kitchen.

3. Get creative with the ultimate snack duo: protein and fiber.

Rather than buying a traditional trail mix, make your own mix of pistachios and your favorite dried fruit. Mix pistachios with air popped popcorn for a satisfying and filling post-workout snack. Or make your own easy and portable American Pistachio Fruit Chews, which combine a mixture of fresh and dried fruit and pistachios.
