Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds

Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds are an easy edible gift you can whip up if you find yourself without a gift last minute. Ask me how I know!

I was doing a deep dive on Shutterbean last week, and one of the things that brought a lot of traffic to my website when I first started was sharing all of my favorite things from Trader Joe’s for the whole month of November 2007. There are a lot of things that were on that list that don’t exist there anymore. Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds used to be a staple. They brought it back for a bit, and they’re gone now. Another sigh…

If you miss them as I do, here’s your chance to make your own. It’s probably cheaper to as well!

Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 51 in 2025

Hello! Week 51 How doing? How was your weekend? Mine was full of house chores, holiday decorating, a holiday market, a visit with friends, a fun family dinner, couch cuddling, movie night, self-check-in, a yoga/dance class, packing orders, and a good NAP! I stayed under my heated throw blanket most of the weekend because it’s COLD here.
