Zesty Cream Cheese Bites

It’s *almost*Friday friends. One more day and weekend will be here. Yesterday I seriously felt the wrath of wednesday and understood why it’s in true sense a hump day. I was so tired and all I wanted was this week to end so I can sleep countless hours and be as lazy as possible. Well with that possibility still far away, I decided to make it feel like weekend by eating a dinner of cheese & crackers and wine. Yes that’s totally acceptable if you are a grown up!

Recently Blue diamond sent me some samples of their new Nut Thin crackers. I have always loved their almonds especially  salt & vinegar flavored and I can finish a box in one sitting. Now these crackers are my new favorite snack. But let me be honest : The first time I tried them I wasn’t impressed at all. They felt way too healthy but then I tried them again the next day and I was all over them.I have no clue what changed but I am going to stock up on these. I finished half a box last night . I am now in love with these crackers. Usually I am not much of a cracker person but these have changed me forever. I prefer them plain most of the time but to make it fancy, I do like this cream cheese spread.

And the best part : These are wheat & gluten free!! Made with real ingredients, you will be totally eating them without any guilt.
