Spring Into Lunch with Glad {Recipe: Salted Caramel Almonds}

Salted Caramel Almonds

Amazing lunches have never been my strong suit. Dinner? I can do. Lunch? It’s always been hard for me to create lunches my kids will enjoy and that won’t get thrown out with the trash when lunch is over.

I used to simply do sandwiches for them… I’d add a fruit and some pretzels or crackers and call it good. It was only recently, when my 9 year old started getting in on the lunch making action, that we started to get a little more creative in our lunch time efforts. Here is what my daughter thinks are the keys to making an exciting lunch!

 

Salad

Tips for Creating an Exciting Lunch from My 9-Year Old Daughter

  • Sandwiches are boring. Wraps are not. Try putting your favorite sandwich toppings in a wrap form instead. We even like this Crabby Dip when rolled up into a tortilla!
  • We like salads, but not when they are soggy from dressing. Put the dressing in a separate container so we can pour it on at lunchtime. (These Glad To Go Lunch Containers are great for storing your salad and dressing, but keeping them separate! The dressing bowl simply snaps into the lid!)
  • If you insist on sandwiches, try making them in fun shapes using cookie cutters. I love it when my mom sends me a heart shaped sandwich!
  • Don’t forget the sweets… my favorite part of lunch is the sweet snack that comes with it. Whether it’s a brownie or cookie or these sweet Salted Caramel Almonds my mom made, I like having a sweet treat to end lunch with. (Kristen here – I love knowing that even though it’s “dessert”, they’re getting some extra energy-packed protein in with the almonds!).
  • This isn’t necessary, but my mom often sneaks a note or a knock-knock joke in our lunch box. I love finding a surprise like that when I’m eating my lunch!

So there you have it… isn’t she a wise one? Really, having Kelly helping with lunch has helped me to realize that lunches don’t have to be complicated to be good! I appreciate how companies like Glad, with their re-usable, smart lunching storage solutions, help me to deliver on a lunch that is still as perfect when they eat it as it was when I made it.

Salted Caramel Roasted Almonds

A protein packed, sweet snack of caramel coated almonds.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light Karo syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spread raw almonds on a large baking sheet so that they are just one layer. Roast the almonds for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar and Karo to a boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla, salt and baking soda. (This will cause the mixture to bubble up.)
  • Once the almonds are roasted, carefully pour them into the butter mixture. Stir until well coated.
  • Reduce oven heat to 250°F.
  • Cover a large baking sheet with foil. Using a slotted spoon, remove the coated almonds from the saucepan and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. (Don't touch the coated almonds with your fingers... the mixture makes the almonds very hot!)
  • Place in the oven for 15 minutes. Stir, then do another 15 minutes.
  • Remove the almonds from the oven. Using a spatula, place almonds on a piece of waxed paper until cool. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Store in an airtight container until ready to eat.
  • Enjoy!

    Our elementary school is nut-free, but I can certainly pack those almonds in my lunch to take to work! Yum! My youngest doesn’t like sandwiches, but I have been known to reheat our Southwestern chicken and peppers and put in a wrap the next day for his lunch. That always gets eaten!

    Not sure what I did wrong but these turned out to be a gooey mess. The caramel sauce didn’t foam up after the addition of the baking soda.
    It was almost impossible to put them in a single layer. They simply clumped together. They were just average almonds with a thick caramel coating and looked nothing like the picture. I’ll try it again before tossing this recipe.

  22. Margaret says

    December 31, 2013 at 7:25 pm

    Gooey mess for me too. Not foamy, just a thick caramel. Roasting the almonds for 15 minutes was too long. Won’t be making these again.

  23. Jatana says

    December 27, 2015 at 10:07 am

    Yes this was definitely a gooey mess! No foaming like the recipe stated! Big glob of almonds and 15 minutes was too long to toast them. Glad I looked in on them while toasting or I would have burnt them! What is wrong with this recipe?

    • Kristen says

      December 28, 2015 at 2:25 pm

      I just made them again and they turned out fine. I’m not sure what’s going on but will keep trying with some different variables and see if I can figure it out. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. Thanks for the heads up!

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

These two small business owners had a successful launch day for their new clothing and accessory brand, @impatient.us I’m so proud of my daughter @kellykdoyle & daughter from another mother, @kyleemdunn for making the time and financial commitment to launch their dream brand! They’ve done it all so independently and have navigated starting a small business way better than I could have at 17! Thanks to everyone who sent words of encouragement and showered them with support. It’s means so much!

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

What pandemic hobby did you pick up?

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢

I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

I is for Inspiration!

The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
