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!

    Hi do you mean light soya sauce?

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

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. šŸ˜‚ Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

ā¤ļø I AM CAPABLE
ā¤ļø I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
šŸ„— FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are šŸ„— FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, ā€œyou can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.ā€ That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

šŸ„—Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

šŸ„—High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

šŸ„—Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1ļøāƒ£Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2ļøāƒ£The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3ļøāƒ£Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4ļøāƒ£A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. šŸ³ Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!
