Did you know nuts are "brain food?" Yes, your favorite healthy snack is making you smarter! Nuts are one of the healthiest things we humans can eat,
packed with positive proteins, beneficial oils and oh-so-very tasty. This nearly
effortless nut roastie is a great snack for movie night at home, party time and
makes a savory appetizer for special meals. Here is what you need:
10 ounces mixed nuts
8 ounces day-old bread
1 medium-sized white onion, chopped
1 ½ cups veggie stock
Soy or tamari sauce
2 ounces unsalted butter
1 teaspoon dried sage
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and start sautéing the
onion in the butter until they soften. Mix the nuts together with the bread in
a food processor or stir vigorously until blended well, transfer to a large
bowl. Heat the stock to boil and pour
into the mixture in the bowl. Stir in the onions. Season as you see fit with
salt, pepper and sage. Pour in a tablespoon of the soy or tamari sauces to add
zing to your roast and give one last stir. Spoon the roastie mix into a greased
baking dish and bake for a half hour. Notice as your kitchen fills with a
fantastic aroma. Heating the nuts brings out more of their natural oils and
intensifies the flavor. Like herbs and flowers, nuts have magical properties
which are mainly to increase love and also feelings of conviviality and peace,
thus the name of this dish. When you serve this roastie, you are quite
literally “sharing the love.”

quaffing mead
We draw closer in word
and deed.
Blessing of love to
all!
