Simple Spiced Nut Mix

November 25, 2020 By Gina Michak

Happy (almost) Thanksgiving!  

This blog post is brought to you by the food and wine duo ( of which I am the foodie half) “The Curly Girls”!  Catch the latest episode! 

Watch as I demonstrate how easy it is to make two appetizers (well, one can be a hostess gift as well!).

Simple spiced nut mix

My inspiration for this recipe came from my most recent “Wine Shop at Home” club delivery.  I LOVE cookbooks, cooking magazines, and recipe cards. I collect all of the above, and I ADORE the recipe cards I get each month from my club membership. 

A few months back I tried this recipe (paired with the sparkling wine I received in my shipment) and my family raved about it.  I tweaked a few things and decided I could incorporate a few other small business products into the “mix” lol. I also realized it’s easily doubled and can be placed in mason jars for gift gifting! 

Most of you know that over in the Kitchen,  it’s sweets and treats.  I love my time on “The Curly Girls” because it gives me the chance to play around with all the other fun food things like appetizers, snacks, and main courses. 

Now let’s get to the fun part- making this recipe! 

Print Recipe

SPICED NUT MIX

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4 tsp  Cinnamon Spice Blend I used Tastefully Simple
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 1/2 cups mixed nuts  I used pecans, peanuts, almonds and cashews

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 250. This is a low and slow recipe, so give yourself time.  The oven does most of the work! 
  • Start by mixing sugar and spice mix together in a bowl.  Add a dash or salt and pepper if you want. 
  • Then, in a separate bowl, whip egg white until foamy.  Add nuts and mix well. Coat with spices and mix to coat evenly.
  • Spread nuts on a baking sheet that is greased OR lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mat (I used one from Pampered Chef)
  • Finally, bake for one hour, stirring once. Cool , then break apart. Cool completely , then store in airtight container for up to two weeks.

Pumpkin Pie Brownies

November 23, 2020 By Gina Michak

Happy Thanksgiving Week, Foodie Friends! 

Thanksgiving day is traditionally the 4th Thursday in November, but it’s 2020 and we need all the happiness and holiday we can get!  Agree? So I’ll celebrate for the entire week!

I seriously fell behind on my recipe testing this month. Being a custom baker at this time of the year is always fun, yet challenging. I’m often busy with many special orders and events, and with the exception of the events (again, 2020) I was blessed with many extra special custom orders. 

No worries, I did find the time this past weekend to make this month’s brownie!  This seasonal flavored brownie a delicious addition to your Thanksgiving dessert menu, or the perfect treat for the holiday weekend. Who doesn’t need a little slice of pie for breakfast on Thanksgiving morn?  Or a snack after black friday shopping (or, it’s 2020 so ) WHILE online black friday shopping , lol!

With three layers, it took sometime to prep, assemble and bake. But the ingredients are simple, each layer is easily combined in a bowl or microwave, and there’s no heavy mixing or equipment needed. I used one big bowl and washed it thoroughly in between making each layer.  I also  utilized the microwave instead of a double boiler to make the brownie layer. 

You do need to cool this “pie”  for at least 2 hours before serving. It’s well worth the wait. 

Please go to the original recipe that I followed to take on this seasonal brownie dessert.

A little slice of pumpkin pie brownie is a sweet seasonal spin on two dessert favs!

I cannot WAIT to share December’s recipe with you, as it will also be a seasonal flavor that will make your taste buds tingle. 

Happy Thanksgiving!
