Toasted Pecans

This morning I decided to try a new recipe, Cardamom and Rosemary Toasted Nuts, by Tabitha Paculba from Welljourn.org. When I first saw the recipe I knew right away that this was something that I would like. However, I didn't think the toasted nuts would be this good. They are addictive like a bag of chips; once you try one, you can't stop until they are gone...or until your tummy is full.

The recipe calls for Maple syrup, but I used honey instead. Another substitution that I made was dried rosemary instead of fresh.

And at first I wasn't too sure about the amount of cardamom that the recipe calls for as I hardly ever use it in cooking. Normally I only buy the pods or seeds and use them in tea. But I followed the recipe, and to my surprise, the cardamom tasted great!

The recipe was quick and easy to make. And in addition to having a tasty and healthy snack, the whole house was filled with a sweet, spicy aroma.

Tropical-Kale Stuffed Avocados

Kale and pineapple go very well together and the creator of this recipe has done a fabulous job at combining the two into a raw food dish. It has the sweet and sour that makes just about any dish tasty. The recipe also calls for coconut oil, which I would have never thought to use in a dish like this, but it turned out very good.

Although it is a recipe for stuffed avocados, I decided to make it into a salad by dicing the avocados and tossing them with the rest of the ingredients. It is definitely a dish I will make over and over again.

The recipe is from UnCooking101, and you can find it here. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
