My daughter was playing with a hula hoop this morning, and it reminded me of this great scene in The Hudsucker Proxy. (below)
No one knows what a hula hoop is until one kid tries it. Then suddenly it goes viral, 1950’s style. It’s really funny.
Let us hope that today’s recipe will catch on the same way. It’s for sweet and spicy cashew nuts suitable for a low carb diet. Snacks are the key to sticking with a diet, in my opinion.
Snacks are everything.

These nuts are just wonderful! I’ve made them several times now.

They are good, but don’t overdo them, because cashews are higher in carbs than other nuts.
I want those right now! Preferably with a nice glass of scotch… a man can dream, can’t he?! Seriously though… those cashews look so appetizing right now.
Thanks! Now that you’ve put the idea of Scotch in my mind, I’m starting to want one too. One in the afternoon isn’t too early, is it?
