I hear there’s a big football game on this weekend… That’s right, it’s Super Bowl weekend. Of course, the Ravens are out of it now, so I’m not as excited about the game. But, I still have the commercials and the half-time show. And, of course, there’s the food. Even if you don’t really like…
It’s Friday! Are you as excited about that as I am? It’s been a crazy week for me… I’d rather not get into the details, but just take my word for it that I’m ready for Friday. And the weekend. I am ready for a break! This weekend I’m hoping to relax and spend some…
With the Super Bowl this weekend, it only seemed appropriate that I should share some game day, snack worthy recipes as a part of this week’s Friday Favorites. Some of these are “traditional” football food, while others are not… Either way, I’m sure they’ll be a big hit at your Super Bowl party!
You really can’t go wrong when you combine sweet caramel with salty cashews. The caramel corn with cashews would have been perfectly fine and delicious on its own, but I couldn’t leave well enough alone. I am a big fan of peanut butter, so I decided to throw some peanut butter into the mix, too. It couldn’t hurt, right?

If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner, hopefully you’ve already finalized your menu and are well on your way to a spectacular dinner! If not, you can always check out last week’s Friday Favorites for my collection of favorite Thanksgiving recipes.
Now that dinner’s taken care of, let’s talk about a fun snack for your guests to nibble on when they arrive. I always like to have a few bites and snacks available to keep everyone occupied while I’m cooking dinner and getting everything together.
Lately, one of my favorite snacks is roasted almonds. Almost everyone I know loves to munch on nuts (and they’re not so filling that they’ll spoil your dinner!), but I prefer to make my own than buy a can of pre-seasoned nuts. By roasting my own almonds, I have the opportunity to get a bit creative with fun flavors.
I really enjoyed my spicy cocoa roasted almonds a few weeks ago. They were a great, relatively healthy chocolatey snack… Better than the other chocolate alternatives around the house! So, I stocked up on a bunch of almonds again this week to make another batch of roasted almonds. This time around, I wasn’t in the…
I intended to make some honey roasted almonds for Christmas, but I never got around to it. It turns out that my procrastination paid off a bit. About a week ago, I was at the grocery store, and I saw that they had giant tubs of almonds on sale, leftover from the bulk displays at…
