Foodie Friday with Dr. Laura Klein, Christmas Edition: Cinnamon Roasted Almonds
Merry Christmas!
Today’s recipe isn’t a meal as you’ve more than likely deducted from the title. You probably already have today’s fixings all figured out, so I thought I’d share a great snack you can fix to tide over the crowd until the main course gets put on the table. These naturally sweet yet filling beauties by Two Peas and Their Pod will not only please the pickiest snacker, but will make your house smell marvelous. Best part is that they keep for a while, so you can use them as an inexpensive option for a couple days. That is if you don’t gobble them all down as soon as they’re cool. These are also a great gift idea. Just put them in a jar or decorative baggie and hand them out to neighbors and friends. Or place them in bowls on tables for your New Year’s Eve party!
