Okay, I hesitate to write this recipe out because so many of my gift recipients get these for Christmas... I don't want them to feel like they're getting the short end of the stick because of how easy they are to make. Don't tell, okay?

These spiced nuts are gift recipient favorites for those who like spicy foods. I have a "Sweet" recipe that I do for the people who can't stand the heat, but that is for another time. I get my gift tins for $.50 or less at garage sales, thrift stores or free if I just ask people for them (believe me, neighbors tend to be happy to give them away because they take up so much space but are too nice to throw away!)

Ingredients: Olive oil 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper or to taste 1/2 tsp. chili powder or to taste 1 c. deluxe mixed nuts - If you like peanuts, any mixed nuts will do 2 to 3 Tbsp. soy sauce paper towels (2 or 3) Method: 1. Over medium heat, warm 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a frying pan; add the cayenne pepper and chili powder and heat for about 30 - 45 seconds - if you do it too long, the spices will turn black and will lose some of their potency.* 2. Add the mixed nuts and coat them with the spices - for 2 or 3 minutes. 3. Add the soy sauce to the nuts and coat the nuts. Stir over the heat until the pan is nearly dry. This will be the longest part of the recipe. 4. Put the nuts on the paper towels off to the side to cool. * The amount of cayenne pepper and chili powder is easy to adjust. I would play with it a bit before sending these out as gifts. You might like a little more... or a little less!

A journey in joyful living

I'm a mom of eight, with #9 on the way, living life with intention. Control of my time is more important to me than getting a dollar through punching a time clock because it allows me to spend time on the important things like my church, building a strong community, and guiding my children. Every Sunday, we have as many as 30 people join us for dinner and fellowship - and I love every minute of it. I have an amazing life.

But it takes work and intention to have this life - it means eating real foods, and using supplements and home care products that support our bodies in good health. It means managing sleep, stress, and good mental health practices. It means watching what we keep around our personal space. Let me help you get a life you love too - let's look together at what your daily activities look like and what you need to embrace - or let go - to reset and renew your love-affair with the life you live; let's form a friendship that encourages you and nurtures your spirit.
