We're going recipe-first today. I love me some food blogs... and I write a food blog. But I know how it is to want that instant gratification when checking out a recipe. Only to scroll through a mile of the blogger's thoughts. It's a necessary part of this world- but I need you to go make this recipe, like, right now. So- GO!
2 cups pecans - tossed in 2 T olive oil + 1 T Rosemary + 1 tsp salt + 1tsp honey - all tucked in a foil "pouch." Sprinkle the top with another pinch of salt. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes - stir - bake another 5 minutes. And EAT 'EM ALL.
We've been using these on our smoothie bowls, in salads, crushed on top of veggie sautés and alone as a can't-stop-eating-it snack. I think the seasoning mixture would be great on almonds, cashews or walnuts as well!
I have really been intentionally prioritizing my health and focused time with Linden (our 2 year old) lately. Just making a conscious effort every day. This means we spend time in the car driving to and from Barre3 classes, the zoo, the library, the park- lots of outings! I always pack Linden some elaborate snack bag for our road trips and playdates. All these crackers and pouches and raisins and PB&Js. So much food. But I'm sitting in the driver's seat S T A R V I N G because I neglected myself. That's where filling homemade snacks like these pecans come in to play. Save me from eating one thousand Goldfish or one more raisin- ha! I toss some in a bag or tupperware, stash it in the front seat and have a snack I crave and look forward to waiting for me. No one gets hangry. It's a win-win!
