It’s College Game Day…gotta have some snacks! I whipped up some guacamole, with carrots and cukes for dipping, and made some spicy “beer nuts”…nothing like something they serve at a bar, and definitely not full of everyone’s fingernail germs (which may be a good way to get your B12? Hmmm…).
I get bored of plain old nuts all the time, but even just salt won’t stick to raw almonds…so here’s what I do:
In a medium bowl, combine the juice of 2 limes, 1-2 tablespoons agave nectar (depending on how sweet you like them!), ½ tsp cayenne (or more, to your preference), ½ tsp sea salt. Stir it all til the salt is dissolved, and add 2-3 cups of almonds or cashews, a cup at a time. Toss to coat, and let the topping dry in the dehydrator at 105 degrees for about an hour, shaking the trays a couple of times while they are in there, or spread on cookie sheets in a cracked-open oven at the lowest temp until dry to the touch. Very classy to drink with a glass of wine (beer ain’t raw, folks!) while cheering on your favorite team!
Today, I’m rooting for the Irish!
