One magical week about 2 years ago, Kia and I went to Paris on a whim. We booked our flights on Friday, dropped Layla (then 2) and Luis (our dog) off at Grandma and Grandpa’s on Saturday, and left on Sunday. We both had to work so it wasn’t as magical as it could have been, but we were able to enjoy a few great dinners, a cooking class, and on our last night while having drinks at our hotel bar we were served these toasted herbes de provence cashews. It ended our trip with a flavorful memory.
For weeks after the trip I made herbes de provence cashews at home and would put them in jars and bring them to work as a nice little snack. They are salty, crunchy, a little sweet, and very satisfying. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
HEALTH TALK
Please take my advice like you do from a friend, not your doctor as I am not a doctor, dietitian or nutritionist. I am just someone with a passion for health and cooking and my hope is to bring you information that will help you live a health-filled life.
Cashews are high in magnesium, which may reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes. They are one of the few foods that contains a good level of copper, which is important for bone formation. See sources at the bottom of this post for more information.
In closing, The simplest snacks are the best snacks, and these stave off those cravings for packaged foods so they are my go-to when I want something salty or crunchy. Bon Appétit!
