I don’t intend to sound crazy, but being unemployed is a hard job. To give myself some credit, I do spend a decent chunk of my time babysitting and volunteering. Between that and running errands (only important ones, of course… like putting the finishing touches on my Halloween costume), I feel like I am constantly running around. Since I spend a lot of mealtimes with young children, and one can only eat so much Kraft Mac & Cheese, I have been on the hunt for quick, easy snacks I can toss in my tote bag and munch on throughout the day. I think I found a winner in this easy almond recipe – I was inspired by some almonds I bought at a small roadside stand in the middle of nowhere in Michigan last summer that I have been trying to find ever since. I’ll save you the trouble – you can’t find them in any grocery store. But here is the recipe:
1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
2. In a bowl, combine ½ cup sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¾ teaspoon cinnamon.
3. In another bowl, whisk together one egg white and a teaspoon of water until frothy. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of almonds.
4. Add dry ingredients to almonds and stir until coated.
5. Bake for 75 minutes on a greased pan, stirring every 20 minutes or so.
These almonds keep really well in airtight containers, and make a great snack/dessert.
