I recently visited a fancy restaurant that served Parmesan encrusted pine nuts in their Caesar salad. This is my near-perfect attempt to replicate these delicious salad toppers. The salad consisted of romaine lettuce, shredded Parmesan cheese, dressing, mixed croutons, and these pine nuts. They are sweet, savory, nutty, and delicious.

This is a great candied nut recipe I stole from my mom. She likes walnuts, I like pecans. It's dead easy and my wife says she needs to leave the house when I make them, so she won't eat them all! Try experimenting with the spices, maybe clove or allspice!

Delicious, quick, and easy. These make the perfect Christmas gift when placed in a treat bag and tied up with ribbon.

These pumpkin seeds are both sweet and spicy at the same time. They have much more flavor than any other pumpkin seeds.

I've made Cajun boiled peanuts many times over the years but was wanting to do something different this time. While trying to come up with something, I looked over and saw a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips and thought... why not? Making boiled peanuts in the Instant Pot® is as easy as 1-2-3. Pour them in and walk away. No more babysitting the pot of boiling water on the stove.

This delicious recipe goes well with salads, crepes, or is a tasty snack all by themselves!

These air-fried pumpkin seeds are wonderfully crunchy with just a hint of smoky flavor. Best served cold.

For a delicious and nutritious snack, try this recipe for roasted almonds with the classic taste of salt and vinegar.

I love boiled peanuts but in the past they've been a bit of hassle to make. They've got to be soaked in water overnight, then you have to wait for the giant pot of water to boil, the water evaporates so you have to add more water every hour, and then every time you do that you have to wait for the water to start boiling again. I knew there had to be a way to simplify the process and the Instant Pot® is the solution. While they still take time, the method is hands-off and they are still done quicker than the 8 hours alone it takes to soak them overnight using the stovetop method.

Walnuts baked until crusted with cinnamon glaze. Cool and serve as a snack or in salads. Soak pan or wash immediately for easily clean-up.
