Almondina: The Perfect Family Snack!

This family is full of humans who like to snack.  Give us crackers, cookies, cheese sticks, ect.  You name it, we'll eat it.  This is where Almondina Toastees falls right in line with the stars for us!  We have snackers of all varieties around here.  Late night, after school, mid morning, I could go on.  You know what I'm talking about.  So many opportunities to snack.  Almondina Toastees need to be the answer to your snack call!


The new Almondina Toastees have 3 varieties of flavors.  You can find them in Coconut Orange Almond, Sesame Almond and Cranberry Almond.  Each flavor is good, but my family likes the Cranberry Almond the best.  They're a little sweeter with the cranberry pieces in each slice. 

Almondina Toastees Coconut Orange Almond flavor are very unique.  At first you get a hint of orange in the thin.  Then you get the flavor of coconut and taste the almond.  I enjoyed how this flavor played on my sense! 


With the holidays around the corner, Almondina Toastees are the perfect product to have on hand!   Pull them out and serve to your guest quickly!   They'd pair well with coffee, hot cocoa or a glass of milk.   I know my family enjoyed them with all 3 forms of liquid I mentioned!  Grab Almondina at your local grocer!

Saucy Chicken Wings

Chicken is a staple in my house.  I personally eat chicken 4-5 times a week for dinner.  I just love chicken.  A favorite is chicken wings.  They're saucy!  They're delicious!  They're perfect size to fit in your hand!  While the husband is not a fan of chicken on the bone, that is just fine....  More for me that way!


With so many reason to make some delicious chicken wings, let the big game be one of them.   Now, when I say big game, I'm good with the Super Bowl, Saturday morning college football, or the bowling championships.  Whatever have you... just make these wings!

Ingredients needed:
20 Chicken Wings
1/2 cup flour (I used a half and half mixture of Gluten Free All Purpose flour and corn starch)
1/2 cup wing sauce
1/4 tsp. Paprika
1/2 tsp. Red Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pepper
1 1/2 tsp. melted butter
1/2 tsp. minced garlic

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Mix your dry ingredients.  Dip your chicken in your melted butter.  Cover the chicken in your dry mixture.  Place on baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.  Flip your chicken over and cook for 10 more minutes or until all pink is gone.


At time of flipping you can put your wing sauce on your chicken and let it bake in a bit.  I LOVE saucy wings, so I put a little extra sauce on when I pull them out of the oven.  Sauce and Done!  So delicious!  These wing pair great with Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing.   Don't forget the celery!
