I don’t know any kids that don’t love fruit snacks. We even have a supply of gummy vitamins! That boys love taking those. There are so many different kinds of fruit snacks on the market today, it’s hard to decide which to buy. Aside from the prices, some of them just taste horrible. How would I know you may be thinking? I always steal the orange ones :D I don’t even really have to steal them anymore, now the boys just automatically say, “Mom! Orange one!” lol

We took a lot of road trips this summer and I always look for “help yourself” snacks to pack.

Sante’ Specialty Nuts http://www.afewfriesshort.com/sante-specialty-nuts/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sante-specialty-nuts http://www.afewfriesshort.com/sante-specialty-nuts/#comments Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:00:12 +0000 Toni-Lynn http://www.afewfriesshort.com/?p=1490

Six years ago, Sara Tidhar found herself in a predicament. She had suddenly become a single mom and realized that to make ends meet, her stay-at-home status had to change. And quick.

So she did what came naturally: She started to cook. She hoped the comfort she felt at the stove would help her think of a way to continue putting food on the table. But it was her son who came up with the solution: “Mom, you should sell those nuts you make for us.”
 Sara had been making roasted nuts for her kids since they were little. She felt good about giving them a healthy snack, and the kids were crazy about them.

Candied Pecans

Candied Pecans

Simply scrumptious: These buttery mammoth pecan halves kissed with pure cane sugar are deliciously addictive.

We give you fair warning: these nuts are so delectable, you may not be able to keep your hand out of the bag. We slow roast big, flavorful pecans with a bit of organic canola oil to give them featherweight texture and amazing crunch. Each nut is then sweetened just right with nothing but the purest cane sugar. Eat them straight out of the bag and be transported to a more carefree time when treats were as innocent as they were delightful. Toss them in a spinach-and-blue-cheese salad to give your lunch an instant status upgrade.

Candied Walnuts

Candied Walnuts

Deliciously back-to-basics: These creamy walnuts kissed with pure cane sugar are dreamily delectable.

Oh, the noble walnut: so rich, so flavorful, so ready to be Santé-fied! We slow roast premium walnuts with a bit of organic canola oil to give them our trademark light texture and amazing crunch. Each nut is then sweetened just right with nothing but the purest cane sugar. Put a bowl out at your next party and watch them disappear. Mix them into your favorite pancake recipe and your kids will call you a superhero.

Garlic Almonds

Garlic Almonds

Zesty garlic, cayenne and black pepper give these almonds their savory punch. A touch of pure cane sugar makes them irresistible.

Buckle your seatbelts: these crisp almonds are as peppy as a sportscar. How do we get them that way? We slow roast them with a bit of organic canola oil to give them our trademark light texture and amazing crunch. We then season them with our secret recipe of zingy spices and sweeten them just right with nothing but the purest cane sugar. Keep a bag in your desk at work for an afternoon pick-me-up that’s way healthier than a candy bar. Just make sure you lock the drawer. These nuts have a way of vanishing when you’re not looking.

Roasted Salted Pecans

Roasted Salted Pecans

Deliciousness pure and simple: Mammoth pecan halves roasted and salted to perfection.

Be prepared: Our pecans will forever change what you think about regular roasted nuts. That’s because we use a secret family recipe (shhhh!). We carefully roast them with a bit of organic canola oil to make them light as air and oh-so-crunchy and then add just enough salt to make them undeniably delicious. Of course, they’re to die for straight from the bag. But don’t stop there. Chop up a handful for your grandmom’s chocolate chip cookie recipe. Toss with linguini, shrimp and olive oil. Sprinkle over waffles with syrup. The possibilities are endless.
