Recipes With a Twist
Honey Toasted Pecans
Thanksgiving tomorrow! I started with tomorrow’s dinner so I though I should post couple of items today.A very close friend of mine serves her carrot soup with chopped toasted Pecans. I could not get a chance to ask her how she toasts the Pecans, so I just made a honey toasted version for my carrot soup.
1/2 cup Pecans
3 tbsp honey
salt to sprinkle
Heat oven to 350 F
In a bowl, mix the pecans with honey, sprinkle some salt.
Place the pecans in an even layer on a baking sheet (lined with foil paper). Roast 8-10 minutes. Let them cool down and coarsly chop.
These mildly sweet and salty pecans make healthy snack and a great topping for soups and salads.

Spicy pumpkin anyone? While I am still enjoying the left over pumpkin crumble from Thanksgiving, I could not help but notice that I still have few cans of pumpkin puree in my pantry. Still in holiday spirit, I wanted to cook a pumpkin dish but one that is not sweet. So I cooked it Indian
