My Obsessive Personality

Q’s Nuts

I stumbled across these puppies at SOWA Open Market. After trying just about every flavor they had I could not stop myself from getting some of the Sweet Roasted Almonds, Banana Foster Pecans, and Mexican Hot Chocolate Almonds.

The variety that they have is sick. They have so many different flavors and wach have the choice of cashews, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, or mixed nuts. Which totally makes it heaven for the super picky person (aka me). And what’s not to love about something that tastes good and is good for you. Check out their website to see what other markets they hit, and find out more info on their upcoming store!

National Almond Day

Just like when it came to celebrating National Peanut Butter Day, I decided to make some super decision, nothin’ but almond butter, in my vitamix! (seriously, best machine ever). And man oh man, I honestly didn’t think I could like it because nothing can compare to my love for peanut butter… but I was wrong.

I freaking love almond butter, that’s right peanut butter, I just went there. And even though the one didn’t get confiscated by TSA, I still had to make it twice. This first time, I follow some random recipe instead of my gut and roasted the almonds first… bad idea. Just put the almonds in the blender and turn it on… duh…

Godiva Roasted Almond Truffle

So my approach to choosing this flavor was simple… I like chocolate and I like almonds, so I thought to myself “Why Not?!” (and yes, it has to be in quotes because I talk to myself in my head) I’ll probably like this.

And I did! I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I was going to. I kind of felt that the flavor combination could turn out a little boring, but no no no, not so much. It was super satisfying. Well done, Godiva. Way to turn something possible bland into something better than I expected, and really thats what its all about (clap, clap (like the song)).

Trail Mix

My love of nuts/nutty things + my constant jealously of what other people are eating (instead of my typical turkey sandwich) lead me to this one. Oh yeah, and chocolate, and salty things…

And let me tell you, I’M FREAKIN’ AWESOME AT MAKING TRAIL MIX! Who knew that that was one of my hidden talents. Who knew that pouring a couple bags of nuts, some raisins, and some chocolate into a bigger bag was such a skill to flaunt.

And to prove my complete trail mix domination, I’m gonna share my recipe with the world.
