Blue Diamond Almonds ~ New Honey Flavor Alert!



Blue Diamond Almonds are one of my favorite snacks. I am always happy when they come out with new flavors. 

Being a part of the Blue Diamond Tastemakers program lets me try new flavors and share my thoughts with you. 

Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Vanilla Almonds is a little sweet and salty mix of goodness. I added some to a snack mix that I like to make for when we have movie night. I popped some popcorn, added some pretzels, raisins, honey roasted peanuts, peanut butter candies and honey roasted vanilla almonds. It was a hit with the family. I love the Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Vanilla Almonds right out of the can. 




Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Chipotle Almonds are a little bit spicy! I wasn't sure if I would like them or not, I am more of a sweet snack lady. I tried them right out of the can and was pleasantly surprised at how much I did like them. They are just the right level of spicy for me. I really like them with some cheddar cheese and a little smoked turkey lunch meat. They made a great snack that is a good source of protein. 




Find out more information about Blue Diamond Almonds on Facebook and Twitter.

Summer Entertaining With Blue Diamond Almonds!

Summertime is here! 
Cookouts, boating, camping, outdoor festivals and our state fair is starting soon. Lots of family and friends to entertain this summer. Good thing I have some Blue Diamond Almonds on hand to keep them happy. 








Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds are a great source of protein to help keep everyone satisfied between mealtimes. They taste good right out of the container or add them to some popcorn, dried fruit (raisins, banana chips or dried pineapple) pieces, chocolate chips and make a snack mix. 


Blue Diamond Rosemary & Black Pepper Almonds are a little bit spicy! I need a little cheese and crackers when I snack on them. I love them with cheese and crackers. I think they would be great mixed in with a salad, too. They are a little too spicy for me right out of the container, however, my friends loved them.

Summer Fun With Blue Diamond Almonds!



 It is Summertime and that means fishing, camping and lots of snacks on the run. I love Blue Diamond Almonds, I have been eating them as a snack and on my desserts for many years. 

I recently became a member of the Blue Diamond Tastemakers program and I got to try two new flavors:

Blue Diamond Toasted Coconut-flavored Oven Roasted Almonds and Blue Diamond Blueberry-flavored Oven Roasted Almonds 



  Since I was at home I tried the Toasted Coconut on my chocolate pudding. Yum! Just the right amount of coconut-flavor with the mix of the crunch of the almonds and creaminess of the chocolate pudding. This can easily be done on the run, too! Just take a pudding pack and toss on some Toasted Coconut Almonds.




I have my Blue Diamond Blueberry Almonds all ready to go with me to the lake. They will be a great snack and source of protein for long walks at the lake or while I wait for the fish to bite.  







 I have added the Blue Diamond Toasted Coconut-flavored Almonds to my  favorite Summertime snack list. I love the coconut, almond mix of flavors. I have eaten them straight from the can. I have to hide them in the cabinet, so I don't eat them all at once!

Gorton's Real Solutions For Mealtime: Artisan Recipe Fillet Review


 Who needs some help with mealtime? Are you serving the same thing every week? I found my self in a mealtime rut. I need something that everyone will eat, is quick and simple to prepare and won't cost a fortune at the grocery store.

 I think I found what I was looking for with Gorton's Artisan Recipe Fillets! They are wild-caught Alaskan Pollack fillets. They come in four flavors:






 I love that there are no fillers, MSG, artificial colors or flavors and only 150 calories per fillet.


 I tried the Lemon and Cracked Peppercorn Artisan Fillets. They were nice and crunchy on the outside and had a great spicy flavor....that we loved! They weren't too spicy for the kids, either. The fillets are great with mac. and cheese, peas and a dinner roll. I loved them in a soft shell taco with cheddar cheese melted on top. Yum! I can't wait to try the Southwest Tortilla next!

 Stop by and follow Gorton's they have great recipes, coupons and sweepstakes, too!
