you are really a just right webmaster. The website
loading pace is amazing. It kind of feels that you’re doing any distinctive
trick. Furthermore, The contents are masterpiece. you have performed a wonderful job in this topic!

These really are adorable and I *do* want to win them but I like Abeulita Almond hot chocolate quite a bit!

One of my favorite snacks is string cheese and a few almonds.

I love to eat almonds out of hand. And thank you for the chance to win the cute straws. They’d make any drink special.

I’m not entering giveaway, HOWEVER, I want to thank you for these almond flour recipes! We just got some in at work and I’ve been MEANING to make something with it!! The baked chicken with pesto sounds amazing!!
Oh, and of course the mocha rocks my world! Can’t wait to try it. I didn’t even know 2/16 was NAtional Almond Day.

I saw these photos on Pinterest and was drawn to them. My kids only drink almond milk and they would devour this. Also love the festive straws!

Lovely Drink!!!!
You know I love eating my almond raw with some honey…. yummm….
B/W these straws are so cute….

nice looking drink wish I liked flavored coffee drinks have a great weekend EA

Those straws are so cute!! I love almond milk and almond butter!!

My favorite way to eat almonds is roasted! I make my own cinnamon sugar almonds by throwing them together with an egg white, cinnamon, brown sugar, and then roasting them until they’re a nice deep brown color and super crunchy. I throw them in my oatmeal in the morning or sometimes I use them to make my own granola.

I would love to win a box of straws! They’d add some color to my kitchen and they’ll make my drinks look so fun!

These straws are adorable and my kids would be impressed that they are recyclable! Our favorite way to eat almonds is right out of the jar. Such a handy go to snack,

Love this. I just pinned it and have to try it. I’m obsessed with almond milk. I like how you specified non-alkalized cocoa powder.

We just made a red pepper almond sauce for the cooking class I conducted and I just adored it; sadly I can’t post it because I don’t have any photos so I’ll make it soon. You gotta try the sauce if you love almonds. Thanks for sharing this lovely drink 🙂

A nice warm treat perfect for this time of the year!!I love the cinnamon in there.Makes it even better 🙂
Love the straws,biodegradble, soy ink and super cute 🙂

Sounds delicious and the straws are adorable! I like to sprinkle sliced almonds on top of a whole grain waffle that has been smothered in yogurt and unsweetened applesauce.

So fun! I love how you take a simple delicious recipe and make it shine in your photos 🙂

Those straws would make me want to drink anything! Such a nice giveaway you’re doing. If I don’t win, I may have to go out and buy a box for myself anyway!

What a great, healthy treat. I love this!

Coincidentally, we have a bowl of almonds in the shell on the coffee table with a nut cracker! So whenever we want to do mindless snacking, we reach for the almonds!

my favorite is roasted unsalted almond butter (fresh pressed). 🙂 love putting it in my oats, quinoa, etc. or just eating it by the spoonful. those straws are adorable! so cute.

and i love the idea of putting cinnamon in coffee. never thought about that before! this is my kind of drink!

I love spreading almond butter on my apple slices. Mmm! And these straws are SO cute! I’m in love! 😀 Thank you for the giveaway!

shame on kirkland, they should reimburse you. I adore these straws. As much as I love my glass Strawsome straws they aren’t as portable. Loving this recipe too. I love almond extract in smoothies. Enjoy roasting almonds with rosemary and slivered almonds for texture in grains. Off to tweet this.

Not entering but geez, I gaze at your photographs and wonder if I’ll ever “get it”. I’m going to copy you though! 🙂

How cute are those straws?! I usually like to put a little chocolate almond milk in my morning coffee. Your recipe sounds great! I enjoy roasted almonds plain, in salads, or as a protein coating 🙂

I love almonds in salads and also love them dusted with a little cinnamon and brown sugar, browned and toasted in the oven. Almond butter is also a nice treat, but can’t indulge in too often because of my niece and nephew’s severe peanut and tread but allergies.

“These straws are so dang cute, I really want to win a box!” 🙂 I also love almonds in the form of butter! I make almond nut butter on a regular basis…good right out of the bag too but they have to be roasted…I really don’t care for the raw, too chewy.
I LOVE YOUR DRINKS…THEY are so dang cute and so easy to make,huh?
Your give a way is a super fun idea, I love it! 🙂

ooh, your mocha looks absolutely delicious! my favorite way to eat almonds is just straight up, roasted. yum!

I love using colorful straws especially when I drink smoothies. Kikkerland has some cute designs. Currently we have the red and white peppermint swirl looking ones. I truly love your blog. Great recipes and beautiful photography. Hope to meet you someday!

Kate

what a fun drink!
