Roasted Cashew nuts are the perfect holiday party snack! When you get them in 3 flavors, they become a part pack snack.. :-). Oct marks the start of my favorite time of year. From the parties to the music to the movies to the festive snacks (like these mixed nuts!)–I love it all!
For me, no party is complete without a bowl of home Cashew nuts (3 flavors).
- Sweet & Spicy cashew nuts
- Chilli Lime cashew nuts
- Pizza Flavored cashew nuts
Me and my family are Nuts about nuts .. literally!! So when I came from India this summer, I got these beautiful Goan cashews but my kids refused to eat it coz of the dried skin on it .. Bummer. Each time i use to open the pantry and the big 2 packs of the cashew-nuts were literally staring at me :D So as the festive season was approaching what better way to serve them .. Roasting these cashew nuts is so easy !!
The days from Ganesh chaturti, Navratri Leading up to Halloween to diwali and then Christmas are just as special to me as are the actual event itself. The anticipation, preparation, and fun activities in between with my family and friends make the holiday season entirely magical.
