My friends and I have a weekly dinner on Monday nights to which we got really creative and call it, “Monday Night Dinner”. It gives us a chance to catch up, and for us to have great food. What’s not to love about that? This week our appetizer was taken care of thanks to Blue Diamond Almonds & Fruit.
My friends and I have a weekly dinner on Monday nights to which we got really creative and call it, “Monday Night Dinner”. It gives us a chance to catch up, and for us to have great food. What’s not to love about that? This week our appetizer was taken care of thanks to Blue Diamond Almonds & Fruit.
Personally, I recommend the Almonds & Fruit Sea Salt & Whole
Blueberry along with Almonds
& Fruit Fiery Ghost Pepper & Tart Cherry. We have often had Almonds out
as a snack or an appetizer but never thought of pairing it with dried fruit
like this. I have to say it’s quite brilliant. Out of the two above my favorite
is the Almonds & Fruit Sea Salt & Whole Blueberry.
Since we did have little
kids at the table, we made sure to let them know that the Almonds & Fruit
Fiery Ghost Pepper & Tart Cherry would be spicy, and they may not like it
but could try if they want. I also cut up some Gouda to go along with, we all
love it, so it seemed like a great pairing.
We had kids at our dinner
party this time, but I know that the next dinner party we have will be with
adults only and will be a little more sophisticated. The brilliant thing about
Blue Diamonds Almonds & Fruit is that it can be elegant and fun. I love that
about it. Elegance meets practicality. In my world, that’s a perfect match. My
kids love Gouda as do some of their friends, so I know we will still include
that, but I’ll expand with some brie, baby swiss, of course since we are in Wisconsin,
I can’t miss out on some good Wisconsin cheese. Then we need a good Riesling as
that pairs the best with Almonds.
For the Almonds & Fruit
Sea Salt & Whole Blueberry a serving is only 160 calories, yes you read that
right. So, when your dinner guests, or just yourself is snacking on those delicious
blueberries and almonds you don’t have to worry.
As you can see the rest of
our meal was grilling out with steak and chicken kabobs, hobo potato packs, zucchini
pizza bites, along with some fresh fruit and of course some delicious chocolate
covered cheesecake bites.
I know I mentioned two
flavors of the Almonds & Fruit, but Blue Diamond has more options than that.
When I was at Walmart, I also picked up a bag of the Almonds & Fruit Sweet
Cardamom Almonds & Honey Crisp Apple. The only one I didn’t get, but wish I
did (I’ll grab next time) is the Almonds & Fruit (Dark Chocolate Flavored
Almonds & Tasted Coconut). So, you really do have a bunch of option to
choose from and with the Ibotta coupon you really can’t go wrong.
As always tell me what you
think if you have tried these. We all love them here and will be our go to
party appetizer in the future.
I love these so much. I keep a few bags in the pantry all the time. I snack on them whenever I'm pressed for time or in between meals.
