Indian Spiced Mixed Nuts - The Lemon Bowl

One of my favorite holiday traditions is getting in the kitchen to create edible gifts to hand out to our very large extended family on Christmas Eve. The big event takes place at my mom’s house and we usually host close to 35 family members including 12 kids under the age of 13.

Clarified Butter (Ghee) - The Lemon BowlComing from a long line of foodies, it probably doesn’t surprise you that I’m not the only one handing out edible gifts. In fact, every year I bank on getting a fresh jar of my Aunt Paula’s Clarified Butter (Ghee) or, as we call it, Syrian butter.

 

Hermit Bars - Ginger Molasses Cookies - The Lemon Bowl

Last year we gave out my husband’s Hermit Bars (chewy molasses ginger cookies) and my friend Sheila’s Sea Salt Pretzel Toffee. Let me tell you – they were a huge hit!!

Graham-Cracker-Toffee-3I’m also desperate to try my friend Ali’s genius version involving graham crackers. I mean seriously…. !!!

Indian-Spiced Mixed Nuts - The Lemon Bowl

This year I’m changing it up and enlisting the help of my 3 year old Sous Chef who absolutely loves to “help Mama cook.”  We are making big batches of my sweet, salty and slightly spicy Indian-Spiced Mixed Nuts which couldn’t be a more kid-friendly recipe if I tried. The recipe is embarrassingly easy and the end result is absurdly delicious and addictive.

If Indian flavors aren’t your jam, get creative and make your own favorite spice blend. These nuts would be just as delicious with a little smoked paprika and sea salt, cinnamon and brown sugar or olive oil and rosemary. The options are endless.

Merry Eating!
