We all know almonds are good for us...monosaturated fats and all that jazz. But plain old roasted almonds can get boring. And buying something like smoke-flavored ones can get you a whole lot of extra salt and chemical stuff. That's why I collect spiced nut recipes just about every time I come across one. This one was put to the test last weekend at our Oscar party. Well? I'm sitting here eating a handful right now with my cocktail, so it passed. Nice and earthy...bet this seasoning mix would be good on pecans too.
