From traditional snack nuts like peanuts, almonds, and mixed nuts to the new Fisher Fusions flavored and energy blend snack mixes, Fisher offers delicious ways to have a healthy snack.

Fisher wants to know, “What kind of Nut are You?” with their Nut Personality Quiz. I took the quiz and found out I was a Pecan. It says:

You are generous and loyal. Friends and family love to be around you because you consider their needs first. You are a tenacious, committed team player who doesn’t require recognition. You are happiest when you share the credit with everyone around you.

Next time you are at the store, make sure to pick up Fisher Nuts! They come in shelled and unshelled varieties. They are great for a quick on-the-go snack or to serve at home any time.

Disclosure: Fisher Nuts provided products for me to review. All opinions are mine.

Teachers love me.  Here are this week’s FFoF questions!

#1. Potato chips. Flavored? Regular, ridged or stacked? I LOVE CHIPS. I love plain Lay’s tucked into a ham and cheese sandwich, I love Ruffles with sour cream dip, I love Pringles, I love Munchos.  My favorite flavors are Pringles Sour Cream & Onion, and Ruffles Cheddar Cheese & Sour Cream.

#2. Cheese doodles. Yellow or white? Puffed or crunchy? I don’t care for the new “natural” cheese puffs. I like regular Cheetos, the orange ones that are all bumpy, and I also like regular orange cheese puffs. You know what else is good? Have you ever had Cheetos Puffed Balls, the little round ones that come in a can? Totally addictive.
#3. Pretzels? Your favorite shape? Favorite flavor? I like Rold Gold mini twists, dipped in ranch dressing :)  When we go on road trips, Chris always buys pretzel Combos with cheddar cheese filling, that’s the only time I eat those.
#4. Share a recipe for salsa or dip. I’ve never made homemade salsa. My current favorite is Dei Fratelli Fire Roasted Tomato, omg so good.  The only homemade dip I make is the Hidden Valley Ranch Dip that comes in the packet that you mix with sour cream. So good with Ruffles!
