myhealthyvegas spiced roasted almonds

by

I believe over time I will evolve this recipe.  It feels like it could go many different ways.   It could go sweet, spicy or salty in my opinion.   It does not need to be just for almonds either.

I started with a basic Mediterranean recipe for the holidays.  I wanted to give some gifts to special people in my life that came from the heart.

I mixed all the ingredients in a medium sized bowl and put them in a glass dish for roasting.  Glass heats evenly.

 

After roasting I put the almonds on parchment paper to cool completely before bagging.

I divided the roasted almonds into four(4) baggies for gifts.  In a sealed container they should keep for 5 days.

HG’s Baked Chocolate Donuts

by

I saw this recipe on Twitter after it was posted by Lisa Lillien @HungryGirl.   These are so yummy, moist and pretty guilt free.   I adapted the recipe to eliminate the glaze on the top.  I always use Devil’s Food, but I wish I could find a sugar free version in my area.

I found this cool little pan on Amazon.com.   I spray it with Butter Pam Cooking Spray.  After mixing the ingredients I carefully spoon in the mixture.

If you use the HG’s tip for pipping in the mixture they might not come out as lumpy as mine do.  Sometimes the holes are not perfect but they still taste amazing.
