Roasted Nuts: Go Nuts for Nuts
When the festive season is in full swing, winter is normally full-on too — if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. This means that you need to think about how to cater for your winter wellness. By adding nuts and seeds to your everyday life you add serotonin, and Vitamin D. The food mood connection is strong, and nuts in particular give you a boost of healthy living goodness.
Of course, nuts in themselves taste great, but if you spice them up a bit, or take them along on a honey coated, or savoury ride - they become the perfect snack or accompaniment to all sorts of dishes.
Go Nuts for Nuts!
The recipe below is easy, and takes no time at all to put together. If you are lucky enough to be able to buy raw nuts from a market (or well-stocked health-shop) you give yourself an extra star in the health score too.
Everyone loves to snack and nibble at a party. Nuts are a given at any festive occasion, and I am sure you already know which ones you like best. I take my nuts down spicy / savoury route, and when needed for sweeter occasions I add honey.
