For some of us, the holidays are not about religious faith at all, but about taking time to spend with loved ones and to practice gratitude for the blessings in our lives. Whatever they mean to you, the holidays are an exciting time, meant to be fully enjoyed.

Sweet & Savory Spiced Nuts
These nuts are a delicious treat and make a great homemade gift. Put them in a decorative box or in a jar with a ribbon around it. Or place a bowl of them on the dining room table as an appetizer for all to enjoy when entertaining guests!
You will need:
1 large egg white
4 cups raw nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, macadamias or a mixture of any of these)
1/3 cup sugar
1 packet Karen’s Spice Kitchen spice blend (use any of these: Shrimp Curry, Veggie Curry, Beef Madras, Bobotie, Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Chicken & Chickpea Curry)
What to do:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In a medium sized bowl, beat the egg white with water until frothy.
Add nuts and mix until coated with the egg white.
Put the nuts into a zip-lock bag and add the spice packet and the sugar. Shake well until the nuts are coated with the spices.
Spread the nuts evenly on a baking sheet.
Bake in 300 degree oven for 30 minutes. Toss the nuts when they come out so they are separated.
Allow nuts to cool completely. Can be stored in a zip-lock bag or frozen.
Happy cooking! And Happy Holidays to all!
