The weather is getting colder and I'm getting more and more into the Holiday spirit. We're having some friends and neighbors over early the week of Thanksgiving and I want to have some easy snacks available that are seasonal, yet not an early edition of their Thanksgiving Day dinner. I never understood why companies always had their big holiday meal on Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving and it was always turkey and dressing, ham and all the trimmings. I don't want to spoil the anticipation of that first bite, so no rehearsals here.
So, I thought nuts, pecans (pe-caan, pea-can,) would be a good choice. Now I know pecan pie is probably a big part of the dessert table on Thanksgiving, but I'm talking "Savory" nuts here. These are a couple of my favorite appetizers. I hope you get a chance to try them and that you enjoy them as much as we do here in the "Schmidt House."
