In July, I wrote a review and hosted a giveaway for Sahale Snacks for my summer essentials event. Their seasoned nuts were the prefect summertime treat and aside from being absolutely scrumptious, I loved that they didn’t require even a square inch cooler space. There was always a place for them in my beach bag. Nuts are a great snack to enjoy each day; they’re packed with protein to supply your body with just the right amount of energy.
Just recently, Sahale Snacks made their way to Seattle’s Best Coffee shops. The Valdosta and Sing Buri nut blends are available in convenient 2-ounce pouches so that customers can enjoy their crunchy goodness along with the morning (or afternoon or evening) coffee.
I had the pleasure of being able to try the two brand new blends and I have to say that so far they are my favorite varieties. The Tuscan Almonds, Southwest Cashews, and Barbeque Almonds I sampled this summer were great too, but Sahale Snacks outdid themselves with their nut blends.
The Sing Buri Cashews are a blend of cashews, pineapple, peanuts, lemongrass and Chinese chili. Exquisite is the best word to describe them. I love cashews, and their sweetness is complemented with the pineapple, toned down with the peanuts and spiced with the special seasonings. What a delicious snack, and a must-try.
I like to add the Valdosta Pecans to our dinner salads. Other than just eating them straight out of the bag, it is the perfect way to incorporate them into your meal. The pecans are combined with sweet cranberries and are garnished with lemon zest and pepper. Yum!
It is party-planning season at our house as we have tons of birthday events coming up. Not to mention the approaching holidays. I’ll be treating our guests to bowlfuls of yummy Sahale Snacks. Aren’t they lucky?
GIVEAWAY!
One reader will win two big 15oz. bags of the Sing Buri Cashews and the Valdosta Pecans!

I was walking my boyfriend's dog on a nice afternoon, and she normally potties on our yard, so it's easy to clean up, but we always carry doggie bags anyway. However, we were 3 houses away from being home, when she decided to squat and drop a smelly turd on a neighbor's yard who just happened to pull into the driveway! lol talk about bad timing. p-u!

We have an un-efficient dishwasher so we wash dishes by hand. During the hot, humid summer months it was next to impossible to keep our dish clothes from becoming "sour". I'm picky about it ... tossing the clothes in the wash often. But ... others are not as picky and when it was my turn to wash, I grabbed the cloth without thinking and ... eeeeeuuuuwwwwww. Once that smell is in your nose ... impossible to get out!
ReplyDeleteThat's my stinky story! :)

ReplyDeleteStinky story? My daughter threw up while driving back from Vegas. It was pretty stinky.
ReplyDeleteMemories...While home on a weekend from college, I went squirrel hunting with Dad(I know!!!).I begged him to "bag" one of the little creatures for me and he did, as long as I promised to cook and eat it, because nothing he shot was to go to waste.I took it back to school, planning on "squirrel stew" or something, but everytime I'd look in my freezer, I'd see this thing that still looked like it was running!! I couldn't bring myself to eat it(GUILT). I left for Christmas break, not realizing that the dorm unplugged ALL appliances when we left. I returned to the foulest smelling room ever. I'm sure the other students thought we had a dead body hidden in our room!

ReplyDeleteA stinky story? Well... My dad works as a potato hauler in one of those big trucks and he usually takes this beat up car to work because it gets really dirty there. He accidently dropped a potato on the floor of the back seat area and it rotted into the carpet and smelled awful! Yuck!
ReplyDeletesuzy_darling@hellokitty.com
I guess the best stink story I have is when I was a new bride and put the creamer in the cupboard not thinking and it still had some milk. This horrible odor began and I didn't know where it was coming from. By the time I figured it out it was crusted on the creamer. So young and so foolish.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful giveaway

ReplyDeleteBack when I was in college, I was on a lunch break at work. I was eating a Big Mac in my car. I got stuffed mid way through eating it & put it in the bag,in my back seat, to throw it out at work. Well, the bag fell off of the seat & onto the floor & was out- of- sight, out- of- mind. About a week or so later, my car had this unbearable stench & I discovered what I had done.

I am thinking you mean the stinky story relating to a diaper pail. Everyone in my house hates the diaper pail except this weird cat AND it is not even our cat. We put the pail on the patio (told you we hated the smell) and the cat visits it EVERY DAY! Too weird.

Stinky story...the dog with silent deadly ones? We live about 6 blocks west of a refinery. Sometimes even with the windows closed ugh. It's really bad when the window air conditioner is on. The smell depends on what they are burning and sometimes it's rotten eggs. bleck

The first thing that comes to mind for a stinky story is that I developed an aversion to perfumes after working with someone who wore really strong perfumes. Now I find many/most perfumes stinky!

[Barely coming from food shopping]It was a rainy day and I had wore Loafers on that day so my socks were wet and didnt smell that good....I changed socks and shoes and headed to the kitchen to prepare a meal for my friends. My friends came and since they are honest, the kept telling me what that smell was...they found out as soon as they saw some wet socks laying on the my living room's floor. So embarrassing and Stinky. Next time I'll head to the living room to clean the mess first

One Friday I bought some items at the grocery store. among the were a few bags of chips and 1 lb. of deli ham. After arriving at home my 13 year old helped put the groceries away. On Monday I went looking for the deli ham and couldn't find it so I proceeded to ask her what she did with it. She said is was never in the bag. So I called the store and asked if by chance it was found after I left the store. Well, they said that they had no record of it. but if I brought in my receipt they'd give me an other pound. I got my ham and was happy. About a week or so when by and one day I was digging out the chips for lunch. My daughter had left the two bags of chips in the bag and just set it in the pantry. Guess what I found in the bottom of the bag of chips???? Yep, stinky deli ham. Boy did I feel bad.
