Summer is here and we have been so busy with BBQs and potluck backyard parties every weekend. One of my favorite things about summer is getting together with friends and family and sharing with delicious food. Lately, I have been obsessed with Blue Diamond Nut-Thins. These little crackers are not only crunchy but also delicious. They are made with no artificial flavors or colors and with only 130 calories per serving (~17 crackers) they’re a snack you can feel good about! And because they are wheat and gluten free and made with real California Almonds they’re a perfect option for people who can not eat gluten.

I always pick up Blue Diamond Nut-Thins at Walmart along with everything else I need to make my summer get together a success. And I love that they have lots of different flavors. The Hint of Sea Salt Nut-Thins crackers are my favorite for making appetizers and the Cheddar Cheese Nut-Thins are perfect for snacking right out of the box and for dipping on some of my favorite summer dips.
