Christmas Coco-Cayenne Almonds

A Very Merry Christmas Meal
We tried Field Roast’s stuffed hazelnut, cranberry roast en croute last night for Christmas dinner. It was delicious, moist and had a nice flaky crust, which in my opinion, beats Tofurky’s roast any day. I sprinkled some rosemary, rubbed olive oil and cooked it with carrots.

We will miss you
Just recently, we lost a very special woman to pancreatic cancer. She had a lot more to live, adventures to take and experiences and talent to share (amazing potter and teacher).

I didn’t know anything about pancreatic cancer until her...
