Honey Sriracha Cashews

I’m not trying to brag or anything, because I know so many of you are stuck inside with gross snowy weather, but y’all – the SUN is SHINING these days, the air is warmer, and we are starting to see little blooms on some of the bushes we have outside. I’m getting ready for swimsuit season, minus the fact that I ate Ina Garten’s Old Fashioned Apple Crisp for like 8 meals in a row this weekend. There have also been many gardening thoughts happening lately, with figuring out a raised bed situation being a high priority around here.

 

This past weekend we grilled out with some amazing friends, transplanted aloe vera baby plants, started seeds for herbs and I bought two Arkansas Traveler heirloom tomato plants that I may have kissed goodnight. We are having to triple lock every door to try and keep Wes in the house during naptime because otherwise he’s quickly figuring out how to escape to the outdoors any chance he gets.

 

I think it’s safe to say we’re pretty stoked about Spring!

One of the biggest struggles I have with Spring is fighting the urge to really indulge in the whole dieting atmosphere. It’s certainly easier for me to eat more whole foods when the amount of fresh and in-season produce suddenly blows up, so my goals for meals have been to consume a LOT of it while it’s seasonally ready to be enjoyed.

 

I mentioned on Instagram a couple weeks ago that I was starting to read Notes from a Blue Bike by Tsh Oxenreider with the understanding that a lot of my bad habits were about to be flipped on their heads. I was right! And one of the biggest things that I’ve been working to change is the way that we eat, putting a much bigger emphasis on seasonality and upping the amount of plant-based ingredients in our meals, and pairing it with high-quality protein.

 

That being said, these cashews are a delicious snack for the times when all I really want is something salty and sweet. They’re a little spicy too, what with the Sriracha and all (color me obsessed y’all!), which I love. You should know that they won’t end up super crunchy, but rather will have a chewier consistency. If you’re wanting the same flavors but with crunch I would recommend these brown sugar sriracha almonds. Either way it’s a win, with all of the flavor cravings being satisfied in just a couple snacky bites!

 

Oh, and one other thing that I want to mention because I adore this girl and her heart – my sweet online friend Jessi is chronicling her weight loss journey, and more importantly her heart’s journey, to a healthier her. I am encouraged beyond belief and think you will be too! Here are the first two installments – ONE + TWO.

Honey Sriracha Cashews

Ingredients

  • 2 cups roasted unsalted cashews (make SURE they're unsalted!)
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • salt to finish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the honey, sriracha and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
  2. Lay out some parchment paper on a countertop or baking sheet.
  3. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture is very thick and has reduced by about half.
  4. Remove from the heat and immediately pour the cashew in, stirring vigorously until they are all covered with the sauce.
  5. Pour on the parchment paper and spread into an even layer.
  6. Sprinkle lightly with salt if desired.
  7. Allow to cool completely before eating.
  8. Enjoy!

    I just made these this morning and they taste great, but they’re incredibly sticky. Are they supposed to be?

      Hey Jennifer! Yes, they are supposed to be sticky; that’s how they were for me too. If you wanted to decrease the honey that would probably help!

    Oh haha, I literally just bought cashews to make honey sriracha cashews for next week’s post… great minds! Can never have too many roasted cashew recipes though, right? 😉 These look amazing.

      You could use any kind of soy (or soya) sauce you like! I just prefer the lighter versions that have less sodium.

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
