Archer Farms Wasabi Soy Almonds

I have been on a nut kick lately. Mostly my obsession has been with roasted almonds
Wandering through Target the other day I saw these Wasabi Soy Almonds. Sitting here on my couch watching "True Blood" sounded like a good time to try them out.

The almonds are coated in a mixture of powdered soy sauce, wasabi and other spices including garlic and oddly enough spinach powder (ok...) now they we know whatthey are made of how do they taste?

Addicting! depending on how the coating is attached to the almond some times the first thing you taste is the spicy heat of the wasabi. On other nuts sometimes you get the salty soy sauce first. They are just the perfect mix of hot, salty and crunch.

I found myself wishing I had a cold beer to go with them. I also couldn't help but wonder how they would be chopped up and mixed into a green tea ice cream.

These are a great snack.

Newman's Own Organic Soy Crisps- White Chedder

HMMMMM Cheddar...
You caught me. I WAS drooling like Homer Simpson. I can't help it, cheddar flavored anything tends to do that. I also happen to love soy crisps (what?!) I love the texture.

These Newman's Organics are no exception to the rules.
First I love the texture. Soy Crisps remind me a lot of rice cakes- only not as sterofoamy- and yes, I know I am nuts for saying this but I am one of those freaks that actually LIKES the texture of rice cakes (I was dropped on my head a lot as a baby). There are a lot of open spaces and little crannies that the powdered flavoring can set into.
The white cheddar flavoring here is in a powdery form but it is not too salty or over powering. If you have ever had bagged cheddar popcorn the flavor is like that- only good.

I liked these because they solved a few of my cravings at once, they were savory, crispy and salty. They are also gluten free. I myself have no problem with gluten- however my Nephew can't have it at all and I think he is going to love these snacks!
