My sweet tooth is pretty limited to coconut milk “ice cream” and chocolate. I hate to admit that I have been indulging in both a bit too much lately but c’est le vie. One of my favorite combinations with both coconut milk “ice cream” and chocolate is salted caramel a trend that I will be riding out until the end (and beyond).

Of course when these salted caramel Blue Diamond almonds arrived on my door step my first thought was these would go fantastic with chocolate and guess what? I was right.

Once you have acquired these two items you will also need a sheet of parchment paper. Measure out about 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips and set aside. Measure out another 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and melt in the microwave in 30 second increments stirring in-between  until melted. Stir the reserved 1/4 cup of chocolate chips until melted as well; this will help to cool down the chocolate mixture faster. Then stir 2 heaping tablespoons of Blue Diamond Salted Caramel almonds into the mixture and then pour the mixture on to a sheet of parchment paper and smooth out into a thin layer.

Sprinkle the top of the chocolate bark with leftover chocolate chips and almonds. Place in the fridge and cool for at least an hour and store in the fridge.

What is your favorite flavor/food to combine with chocolate?

Get Your Good Going

Since becoming a mom what gets my good going has changed a little bit since before Edie what got my good going were leisurely evenings out with Neil enjoying  great beers and wonderful food, spontaneous getaways, even overnight hikes, and training for races.   Now what gets my good going is:

spending time reading or basically doing anything with Edie

sharing evenings with my husband while (when) Edie (decides to) sleep

getting out for family walks

babywearing 

finding time to get in the kitchen and cook

preparing to get back to running and train for a 5k this fall

The mantra behind “Get Your Good Going” and Blue Diamond Almond’s latest sweepstakes on Facebook is:

We came together as a co-op. A co-op for good. Because when you start something good, it only gets better. Good is in every Blue Diamond Almond we grow. In every snack can and Breeze carton we sell. From Whole Natural to Smokehouse to Wasabi and Soy. From Original to Vanilla to Chocolate. It’s a catalyst. It’s contagious. It branches out into every aspect of our lives. Good is conquering a roller coaster, hanging ten with your nine-year old, hiking half-dome with your fiancée, singing your lungs out and whacking a piñata. Good is a wonderful feeling. A magical feeling. An inspirational feeling. And once it gets going, there’s no stopping what you can do. So grab a can or carton of good and Get Your Good Going.

Right now I get my good going by getting to know my new baby girl, finding time to be active and to do things that I love, spending time with my husband, and setting goals (like running my first postpartum 5k).

So now it’s your turn how do you get your good going?
