"A delicious and different gift idea from Christmas with Southern Living 2004. They only a take 20 to 25 minutes in the oven and once cooled can be put in a nice gift bag or jar for giving as a gift."

This is a super easy and extremely flavourful way of preparing roasted nuts. They smell sooooooo great when baking in the oven and the taste is just wonderful! All the herbs go so well with the roasted nuts and the red cayenne pepper adds a little zing. Very yummy! :) I used only 1 tbs of melted butter as it was enough to coat all the nuts and I was afraid I would have too much butter left over if using the 1/3 cup. Also I was out of sage, so I added sweet basil, which worked out nicely. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this delicious recipe with us, Paula. My dad is in snack nuts heaven right now. ;) Made and reviewed for the 8th Annual Photo Swap February 2010.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
