Toasted almonds & other healthy snacks
Posted on November 14th, 2008 3 comments
Last weekend I made toasted almonds as a delicious addition to weekday snacking. I bought the almonds, un-toasted, on sale at Price Chopper - but you could visit the Bulk Barn, too. I used the same recipe I used for the pumpkin seeds (from Martha Stewart) only I doubled it to completely cover the almonds (I had quite a few). Also, instead of toasting the almonds in an oven, I used a frying pan (see instructions here).
I cannot believe how tasty they are! And they are reasonably healthy, too. You can also toast them and then add them to dried cranberries and/or raisons, pretzels, peanuts, or other snacks to make a homemade trail mix. It’s a great addition to your lunch, and easy to leave at your desk at work for mid-day snacking. Also great for road-trips! Or if you are looking to supplement Christmas presents or stocking stuffers, you can put the almonds in a tightly sealed jar, and include it as part of the gift.

Thanks for this great - and easy idea! I will add this to my list of homemade goodies I make for Christmas gifts!
Also, thank you so much for the coupons from the giveaway! I just got them in the mail - and I can use most of them myself! A few I will pass on to friends who I know will use them as well. Thanks for the cat food coupons - my cats thank you too!
I look forward to your blog each day now - keep up the great work! Have an awesome weekend!
