Spiced Pecans

Jon's sister, Elizabeth, made these one Thanksgiving. They are great on a salad or just as an appetizer/snack.

1 c. pecans

1/4 c. dark brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1 Tbsp. egg white

Mix all of the spices together. Toss the pecans in the egg white and then the spices. Bake at 250 for 20-25 minutes.

The inspiration

For a couple of years I have been typing up recipes and dreaming of getting them all into a book - one place that I can look for all of our go-to recipes we've compiled over the first 15 years of our marriage. But I hit a slump and became discouraged that this was never going to happen. Until the other night when I was talking to my friends Julie and Eric and they loved the idea, and Eric suggested that instead of a book, I create a blog! This way I could post what I already have typed up, it would all be in one spot, and maybe someday if I ever do actually get it put into a cookbook, it will be ready!
