Many
years ago, I wanted to own my own business. So I quit my job and I started a
vending business . I sold pre-packaged, overly processed, excessively sugary,
salty, artificially flavored and chemically induced junk food…And I was
actually pretty good at it. I did this for about 5
years and I took on more and more locations.
The vending business is good exercise, it is actually a lot like P90x except you do it all over town and all the movements are very different, but you do build up a pretty good appetite.Now, the snack irony of the situation was that I really did not like the junk that I was pushing. I was surrounded by thousands of calories and yet I was still hungry.
So, I started to make my own healthy snacks. I began making my own granola bars and over time I got pretty good at making really delicious mouth water granola.
I then began experimenting with fruit, vegetables, nuts, brown rice and other wholesome ingredients. I would arrange these ingredients in a way that tasted really good. I got better and better at combining
different foods and I called these creations “food combinations”. Other people called them recipes.
Well, eventually I got out of the vending business. I took different day jobs like becoming an account representative for a large software company selling enterprise software to mid-size businesses but nights and weekends were often dedicated to making healthy snack food.
My co-workers became my test subjects and along the way I had a lot of flops but I kept a list of all the good recipes (food combinations – not giving up on this term just yet).
Have you ever been obsessed with something but don’t know why?…Well that is how I was when it came to inventing snack food recipes.
Maybe I was trying to make up for my dark snack past or just trying to rebalance my snack Karma. Whatever the reason, I missed countless episodes of TV shows and I worked for hours in the kitchen.
I think this hard work has paid off and I put together what I believe is the best snack recipe book around and you may have guessed the title “Peace Love and Snacks”.

I can't stand prepackaged snacks, but when it comes to chocolate baked goods from kitchen, there's no stopping me! Great post Stan and good luck with the tour.
