The perfect bite delights and satisfies all your tastebuds! These sweet and spicy roasted almonds are pretty irresistible and just may become your new favorite way to eat almonds. Perfectly crunchy and coated in a mixture of chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, stevia and a bit of sugar, there is a great balance of sweet and savory.
A couple of years ago I led a monthly grocery store tour for patients. We would spend almost 2 hours walking through the grocery store talking about food, nutrition labels, how to use ingredients, better options and every other question you can imagine! One of the most common questions I received was “What do you buy?” Patient’s wanted to know what I placed in my cart and how I filled my pantry and fridge. Today, I wanted to share 7 items I always purchase and have stocked in our kitchen.

Do you ever plan out how to add fat into your diet? When it comes to meal planning, we often think through a lean protein, complex carb, and fruits/veggies but do you ever think about how you will include healthy fat? While many people may naturally assume that they will automatically get fat through their food (like meats and dairy) it would be wise to be intentional about what types of fats you are including.
