Tamari Lime Mixed Nuts


Every time I make these nuts I wonder why I don't make them more often. They're easy to make and don't take all that long. They're nice to have in the pantry for a quick and easy snack, to serve at a party, or even to take on a hike.










Tamari Lime Mixed Nuts

½ cup raw pistachios
½ cup raw peanuts
½ cup raw almonds
½ cup raw Brazil nuts
½ cup raw hazelnuts
½ cup raw cashews
½ cup raw walnuts
½ cup raw pecans
1 cup tamari sauce*
Juice of 1-2 limes
2 teaspoons maple syrup or date syrup**

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Mix nuts in a large bowl.

Mix tamari sauce, lime juice, and syrup in a small bowl or 2-cup measuring cup. Pour sauce over nuts. Mix to cover nuts well.

Allow to set for 5-10 minutes.



Spread nuts in sheet pan in an even layer. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, shaking pan to move nuts around every 8-10 minutes. Nuts will turn brown and liquid will stop forming in the bottom as the nuts roast.

Allow to cool in pan stirring a few times as they cool. Stirring will help them dry out more evenly and keep them from sticking to the pan as they cool.

Once completely cool, nuts can be stored in an airtight container.



* I've made these with a regular soy sauce before instead of a tamari soy sauce, and they weren't quite as tasty. I recommend using a low-sodium tamari soy sauce.

** I've made these without sweetener before and they're okay that way, but the sweetener seems to enhance the flavor just a bit. Feel free to leave it out if you want.

Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Orange Cranberry Water

I used to love drinking orange juice with a splash or cranberry juice in it, but I no longer drink fruit juices as a general rule because of the high sugar content and lack of fiber. Sometimes, like this morning, I get a craving for that flavor combination. This water isn't as sweet or as strong, but it satisfies that craving. I like to drink infused water because it helps me keep my hydration up when I get bored with plain water. Since I was craving this this morning and decided to make it to quench my craving, I decided to share it! Orange Cranberry Water 2 oranges 1 cup frozen cranberries 40-60 ounces water Wash oranges. Slice into piece discarding the end pieces. Remove seeds. Gently massage orange slices over the top of a pitcher . Drop slices into the pitcher.  Add cranberries. Fill pitcher with water. Place in the refrigerator and all to infuse for several hours, or overnight. Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Mango Smoothie

Image
I make many different varieties of smoothies. I like to play with the ingredients.  This  Mango Smoothie  is a rare smoothie where I don't include any berries.  I almost always include some type of greens. In this recipe, I use kale. It gives the smoothie a light greenish tint, which I find rather pretty but some might not.    I decided to make mango the star of this smoothie, which I enjoyed more than I expected.  I find this Mango Smoothie light and refreshing but quite filling. It makes enough for one large smoothie or two small smoothies.  Mango Smoothie 2 cups frozen mango ½ cup walnuts 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon amla powder (optional) ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom 1 teaspoon matcha powder (optional) 2 teaspoons fruit infused vinegar ½ cup chopped kale 1 small orange 1 small avocado 1 banana Place walnuts, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, amla, matcha, and vinegar in blender . Blend until becomes a thick chunky butter-like consistency. Add a little

Spelt Biscuits

I remember biscuits at both of my grandmother's houses. They had very different styles for making biscuits, but both had their appeal. What I remember most about them thinking back is how cozy it felt when my grandmas served biscuits, even making biscuits with them felt cozy. I don't think my biscuits have ever been as good as either of theirs, but sometimes I wonder if that's as much about nostalgia as technique. I will readily admit that I find rolling dough kind of soothing and far too often roll my dough a bit too thin for biscuits, as I did when I made these biscuits this morning. So while this variation of biscuits has little in common with the biscuits either of my grandmas made, they both inspired me to develop a biscuit recipe. So, Grammy Stamm and Granny Cooper, this one is in your honor! Spelt Biscuits   2 cups spelt flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds ½ cup hazelnut pulp ¾ cup hazelnut milk 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar     Preheat th
