Almondina Products Review and Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 7/10 (Rafflecopter)


I was recently asked to host a review and giveaway for Almondina brand cookies. I have never seen cookies like this before! I was sent a big sample of all of the types of cookies that they bake and sell. The Chocolate Cherry have the perfect chocolate flavor, the almond crunch and crunchiness of the cookie/biscuit, and chewy cherries. I really enjoyed them. The GingerSpice were a little strong in flavor for me. I liked the crunchiness of the cookie/biscuit and the flavor of the almonds, but there could have been a little less ginger spice. But if you love ginger, you would love these! I really enjoy eating them with my morning coffee or just as a snack.


"...all-natural, crispy almond cookie has no cholesterol and no added fat, salt, or preservatives. It is wonderfully crunchy and does not have to be dipped. It is a delightful accompaniment for coffee, tea, soft cheeses and fine light wines. The rush to eliminate fat from gourmet foods too often has also eliminated most of the flavor, a fact which is in sharp contrast to this enticingly delicious cookie." 

Almondina Cookies are:
  • Crunchy, addictive, healthful
  • Free of cholesterol, coloring and preservatives
  • Made with no added fat or salt
  • Low in calories – only 30 per slice
  • Proudly made in America
  • Kosher and Pareve (non dairy)

Yuval Zaliouk was a world renown musical conductor and for the past two decades has been the owner of Almondina. Zaliouk's company is based in Ohio and his Almondina cookies are sold in all 50 States and several foreign countries. The cookies started as a family favorite recipe created by his grandmother, Dina. Almondina distribution has expanded and is now readily available at stores such as Publix, The Fresh Market, Earth Fare, Ingles, Trader Joe’s, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and many others.

High Blood Pressure = Bed Rest

I am doing what I can with the low entry giveaways, but my BP is up, and I am on bedrest, until Monday anyways. I have another OB appt. on Monday, and we will see if they decide to go ahead and do the c-section then or not. I will be 37 weeks exactly, and this will be the earliest that I have had a baby. So please send some prayers, and wish me luck, and if you don't get a post on Tuesday, Wednesday, or any other day the first week of July, you will know why! I will post and share photos of our new baby girl probably while I am in the hospital, as I get bored when I am alone in the hospital room and the baby is sleeping.
