Sweet and Spicy

The Big Guy and I moved into our little bungalow many moons ago and have never regretted our decision to continue staying in the city. We were reminiscing the other day about holiday parties we used to have before COVID. Our house was too small for the number of family and friends we invited each year, but it always seemed to work out perfectly.

We decided this year, since we are all still inching back to our new normal, to try and recreate some of the recipes from our first party to share with our family and friends as gifts. Big Guy insisted we pull out the sweet and spicy pecans recipe. My FIL was enamored with them so much that he begged us to take away the bowl. The sweetness with the heat of the cayenne pepper was so balanced he swore he could not stop eating them.

It was obvious this recipe was a keeper for the holidays! I hope you resurrect some of your favorite recipes this season. While my FIL has since passed, we laughed and remembered his inability to stop eating pecans, bringing his spirit and love into our home once again!
