WIN-It-Wednesday: Yumnuts… Can you say “yum”?
Sometimes you have to take a look at the yummy side of life.
That’s what the folks over at Yumnuts did when they developed their line of jumbo dry-roasted cashews that are topped with lip-smacking & finger-lickin’ spices, coatings and seasonings.
Yumnuts are ingenious.
With no added oils, cholesterol, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, trans fat, artificial flavors, or gluten, these snacks are a smart snack; Especially when you are looking for a little sweetness, or spiciness, to kick your mid-day snack up a notch or two.
Most flavored nuts are oiled or battered (i.e. full of gluten), but not Yumnuts. These nuts are handled with care. Slow roasted in small batches. Made with yum in mind.
According to Yumnuts website their motto is: “To get people saying ‘yum’ again.” That’s remembering to laugh, following their passions, enjoying the little things, chasing those dreams. Yup… all the yummy simple things in life.
That is why I am nuts over this WIN-It-Wednesday’s prize: A gift box packed with one of each of the Yumnut Varieties (Chocolate, Honey, Sea Salt, Spicy Cajun, Chili Lime, Toasted Coconut) and a Yumnut tee-shirt.
How can you win?
EASY!

I think it’s important to allow yourself the occasional treat. There is a lot of deprivation in a gluten free diet so I think it’s important to compensate for it.

I embrace the “Yum” in my life by accepting things that I can not change (i.e. the deer that was standing on the other side of the hill I crested last night) and actively working on changing or improving what I can change.

I embrace the “yum” in my life when I make a new recipe and just enjoy it, maybe with a cup of tea. GFCFSF pumpkin muffins are a definite yum in my life. It’s not just about savoring the food, it’s also about savoring life. I try to enjoy the yummy moments with my kids, cuddling, playing, reading.

the yum in my life comes from my 20 month old grandson. I see him and life is yummy.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I embrace the “Yum” in my life by trying new foods out. Even though I have had to change my diet due to gluten intolerance does not mean I have to sacrifice taste. I just have to go about it in new ways and I do that by trying something new each time I go to the store. Then as a family we all try it and from that we have started eating new foods I never knew about.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
