Chile-Lime Almonds Recipe

6/8/2018

These almonds make a great topping for salads or simply as a healthy snack any day. Soak your almonds overnight before using them in this recipe to minimize the phytic acid. Therefore making them more digestible. This recipe is super simple and quick to make.

2 cups of raw almonds (soaked overnight)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 teaspoons chili powder (depending on your taste)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Add nuts and oil to a pan, sprinkle with chili powder and salt and toast for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from heat, add lime juice and cilantro and stir. Transfer nuts to a plate or baking sheet and let them cool. Store in airtight container.

I love my 3 kitties, living with them comes with many benefits, including constant companionship, love, and affection. And I'm not the only one that feels like this. Not only are people happier in the presence of animals, they’re also healthier. In a survey of pet owners, 74% of pet owners reported mental health improvements from pet ownership, and 75% of pet owners reported a friend’s or family member’s mental health has improved from pet ownership. Moreover, studies have demonstrated that pets and therapy animals can help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

Summer Reading - The Power of Eight

What are you reading this summer?

I can't believe the summer is almost here. It is time to select a book to read for this season. I chose "The Power of Eight" from Lynne McTaggart. Lynne is also the author of a couple of my favorite books: "The field" and "The intention Experient." In this book, she reveals her findings from 10 years of experiments designed to discover how group intention (thru meditation and focus intention) can heal our lives and change the world for the better. I love her work because it is not only very positive and inspiring, but she is a former scientist, and all her work is carefully designed, so her experiments are valid and reliable. What uplifting book can you recommend us for summer reading?
