Hey guys! I told ya I’d be popping in to say hello while I’m out of the country! Right now I’m exploring the coast of Ireland and am pretty sure I never want to leave. Ever.

Before I left for my trip, I received samples of Sriracha Blue Diamond Almonds. I’m not sure if you know how I feel about sriracha but it involves some serious love and infatuation. Sriracha is basically god’s best gift to man. So to serve up almonds with some sriracha heat? Genius. Addicted at first crunch.

I tasted them as soon as Steve asked me what’s for dinner? Not having any plan whatsoever, I was inspired by these nuts and thought how delicious they would be as a crust on fish. So, my answer was sriracha almond crusted tilapia! Steve was psyched.

I just love the crunchy texture these almonds adds to the flaky tilapia. And how the bold sriracha heat of these nuts adds so much flavor to the fish! And it’s ridiculously easy to make. It took me about 10 seconds to make the coating. You literally just pop these nuts in the food processor and you’re good to go!
