Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / February 2004Recipes needed for toasted/roasted nuts
Thought I'd post a second time, even as a newcomer to this group. <s> I've been hoping to find some recipes for toasted or roasted nuts using just herbs, spices and perhaps either cooking spray or good fats. A Google search (I admit, it wasn't exhaustive) didn't bring any results. I love all types of nuts and know that snacking on almonds, especially, is a healthy thing to do. But raw almonds get boring after awhile. Thanks for your help, Kay (I'll include some stats after weighing myself at work tonight; the medical scale is accurate and I work every Friday night, so it seemed like a good time and place for the weekly weigh-in) search here... http://allrecipes.com/default.asp?lnkid=18 > Thought I'd post a second time, even as a newcomer to this group. <s> I've > been hoping to find some recipes for toasted or roasted nuts using just [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > scale is accurate and I work every Friday night, so it seemed like a good > time and place for the weekly weigh-in) > Thought I'd post a second time, even as a newcomer to this group. <s> I've > been hoping to find some recipes for toasted or roasted nuts using just [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > scale is accurate and I work every Friday night, so it seemed like a good > time and place for the weekly weigh-in) Spray nuts with some oil. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave another 2 minutes being careful not to burn them. Dredge them in a mixture of cloves, cinnamonand allspice loor for savory ones, garlic powder and herbs. Here's the lazy way (my way) - use natural peanut butter and almond butter. I've found they go well with 1) yogurt 2) oatmeal. My first two meals : 1 cup lite yogurt, 1/2 pound blueberries, 1 tablespoon peanut butter - to drink, 8 oz grapefruit juice. 400 calories. My final meal of the day (meal 6) - 1/2 cup oatmeal (before cooking - 1 1/2 cups cooked) plus 3 tablespoons of almond butter + artifical sweetener + cinnamon. Nuts are very healthy - but, of course, also high in calories. Second lazy way - measure an ounce of nuts - eat an ounce of whole grain crispbreads (or shreded wheat)with them. Hard way: check out Thai cooking or Indian cooking. > Thought I'd post a second time, even as a newcomer to this group. <s> I've > been hoping to find some recipes for toasted or roasted nuts using just [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > scale is accurate and I work every Friday night, so it seemed like a good > time and place for the weekly weigh-in) |
