Chili Spice Pecans (Vegan, Gluten Free)

Chili Spice Pecans. My husband is a huge fan of spicy foods and this recipe is one he came up with.  These spicy nuts make a great snack when you want something a little spicy and salty.

This healthy snack is vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. We made just a small batch to start with, but you can certainly make a bigger one if you like.  I think this flavor profile would work with my different nuts and seeds, so feel free to experiment.

Wild Rice Lentils and Caramelized Onions

Wild Rice Lentils and Caramelized Onions.  This easy recipe is big on flavor even though it has a small ingredient list.

 

Every Christmas Day, we have lunch at a Middle Eastern restaurant.  Our family celebrates on Christmas Eve, leaving Christmas Day free.  This recipe is inspired by a dish we have there.  Since my mother in law is Turkish, she gave us her version.
