It is on sale at Walgreens for only $2 per 3.5 oz. zipper bag until Dec 29. What a great way to keep an alternative to vending machine junk food on hand, encourage your kids, teens and youth to enjoy a tasty simple snack with real ingredients or keep a non-perishable real food product on hand for weather emergencies such as the hurricane much of the east coast is experiencing this week. The only caveat is it is VERY HARD to re-seal the bag. I suggest you pour out a serving onto a paper towel or in a small bowl to help control portions and not eat the whole bag. See the link below if you want to see a photo. It is located in the nuts section ( near the almonds on sale this week) http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/good-%26-delish-cashew-crunch/ID=prod6104960-product Enjoy and share. -Renee
Walgreens sells Good & Delish Cashew Crunch ( aka "cashew crack"). 100% Vegan, dairy free, peanut free and DELICIOUS! This great snack has only 4 ingredients: Dry Roasted Cashews, Cane Sugar , Rice Syrup , Sea Salt.Although it is touted as a snack, it makes a great addition to whole grain oatmeal. If you or someone you know or love is seeking to wean themselves from junk food, this is a great way to introduce how to real a label for real food ingredients. I know so many who struggle to start a healthy life journey and balk at trying "healthy foods" as they anticipate a bad taste or having to make everything from scratch. This product can be used as a good lead-in to show that healthy tasty real foods do exist in their neighborhood at an affordable price.

Is Rice still Nice? Many have been shocked then frustrated with the reports of arsenic in rice. The health concern arises not from the naturally occurring organic arsenic in some soils, but from inorganic arsenic used as a component of pesticides and insecticides before they were banned in the 1980's remaining in the soil. Does this mean we give up rice entirely, especially brown rice with its health benefits? Rice is one of the most affordable and available (and widely accepted by picky eaters) non-gluten whole grains ( and one of my favorites). See the link below for the actual data from the Consumer Reports report so you can make an informed decision for your family about the brands you normally purchase. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2012/11/arsenic-in-your-food/index.htm#chart Some of the lowest levels were found in Archer Farms Organic rice and Lundberg organic rice as well as brands grown in India or Thailand. This is good news as you can get the Archer Farms organic rice at Target for ~$5 for 2 lb. The other good news is that Target also sells Dynasty brand Jasmine rice from Thailand that is very tasty and less than $3 for a 2 lb zippered bag. You can find Lundberg organic rice at Whole Foods, your local co-op/health food store, Kroger and Target stores. There are even some Walmart SuperCenter stores in which I have seen Lundberg rice (in the tiny gluten-free aisle). Kroger and Target frequently have natural and organic whole grain products on sale so the price is not outrageous. For those on a gluten-free or reduced gluten lifestyle, consider experimenting with other whole grains such as oatmeal (cheap, tasty and available) or even chickpea flour for baking. There are some varieties of quinoa pasta I have seen in the stores as well. Other places to find gluten-free products include Kerr Drugs, Wal-mart and Target. Enjoy.
