These roasted almonds are coated in a maple and cinnamon glaze and roasted until golden and crunchy. The maple syrup makes them a perfect Christmas treat because we all deserve a little extra sweetness in our lives at this time of year. I’ve been told that these should come with a disclaimer because they are so addictive. One minute you’ll be nibbling on a few nuts and the next, the whole bowl will be empty. I say go for it, they’re so delicious!
The excitement around food is probably one of my favourite things about Christmas! Everyone gets excited planning their Christmas menu and seeing as I could talk about food all day long, it makes me very happy.
As the year starts to draw to a close and we approach the beginning of a new year, I find myself reflecting on all that I am grateful for. I’ve been starting off each day by thinking of three things I am grateful for. I wanted to share with you today’s thoughts.
I’m grateful that at this time of year, there is more love in the world.
I’m grateful for a beautiful blue sky on a cold winter’s day.
I’m grateful for each and every one of you!

I did 15mins and they came out tasting like popcorn and nothing like maple syrup or cinnamon, which was strange… may try again one day with less time in oven.
Oh that’s such a shame! Maybe your oven was too hot?
