Next order of business. Remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned getting this package in the mail?
It included 3 kinds of Sahale Crunchers:
- Almonds with Cherries, Apples & Maple
- Almonds with Cranberries, Sesame Seeds & Honey
- Almonds with Parmesan Cheese & Herbs
Kyle said the parmesan bag was so addicting, it was gone in one serving.
I tried the other two (sweet) flavors and agree whole-heartedly that there’s really no way to make these last longer than a day.
The cherries apple & maple flavor was delicious on top of oatmeal and vanilla soy yogurt. And straight out of the bag.
The cranberries sesame & honey crunchers was an easy way to jazz up the last of my summer stone fruits. I baked sliced plums and peaches in ramekins and added the Sahale snacks as a crumble on top. Too bad it was gone long before I could get photos. 🙂
The package also came with six recipe ideas and a cute bowl/mug. Want to win some Sahale goodies for yourself?
To enter:
