Hot nuts are quite the rage these days, with commercial brands of hot and spicy pistachios, pecans, and peanuts now available. I add my two cent’s worth with this recipe for walnuts.
Mexican Hot Nuts
Chopped finely, these nuts can be mixed with stuffing for roasted poultry. The nuts will keep for 2 to 3 weeks, refrigerated.
Chili-Spiced Popcorn
This totally addictive snack is a great diversion when watching horror movies on TV or with beer when watching football.
Brilliant Bayou Pumpkin Seed Snack
Neighbors stop by unexpectedly? Don’t panic. You can whip up this fun snack in less time than it takes to polish off a beer or two. Of course, the trick is to have these ingredients on hand at all times. This is easily accomplished, as pumpkin seeds last practically forever when kept in a cool, dry place in an airtight bag or jar
Sweet Potato Chips Dusted with Chimayo Red Chile
This snack is a hot twist on party chips. I have had great success in substituting sweet potatoes for potatoes in many recipes.
