Anyway, I returned from Cleveland on Sunday following a 4-day business trip. In between conference sessions, we visited the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Westside Market, the Cleveland Brown's stadium, Penzey's, and took a tour of the city on Lolly the Trolley. Nice city, fun time, although I thought we'd have some relief from our humidity, but it followed us north. After settling in and spending some time with my guys, I headed to the kitchen to make one of the easiest appetizers ever. Seriously, I don't think it gets any easier than Ina's Rosemary Roasted Cashews, Mia's Appetizing Appetizers pick for our August 4th Ina's Garden theme.
To be honest, while my staff loved these cashews, I wasn't over-the-moon about them. They're good, yes, but I'd not likely make them again, or if I did, I'd leave out the rosemary. I loved the salty, spicy, sweet combo, but I was a put-off by the rosemary; however, if you're a rosemary fan, you're going to love these. You can find the recipe on Mia's blog, Bright Morning Star or here. If you're not a fan of nuts, please join us and link up your favorite Ina Garten appetizer. You can link back here or to any of the hostess' blogs, April at The 21st Century Housewife, Chaya at Bizzy B. Bakes, Yummy Chunklet at Yummychunklet, Mia at Bright Morning Star, and Peggy at Pantry Revisted, or at our main Ina Garden's site.

I've missed you...so glad to see you posting! I figured your move has had you running like crazy...and in this gross heat to boot!! I love cashews, but never thought of them w/rosemary.
ReplyDeleteI know what ur talking about , its already 3 months we moved in but there is always something to deal with but when the new place is sooo wonderful it feels soo good!
ReplyDeleteHey i thought the same about Rosemary so used it for garnish since its sooo pretty :-)
The nuts sure look yummy and i need all my will power not to eat some NOW:-)
These cashews look incredible! Nice post, Louanne!
ReplyDeleteYour cashew looks good! Will have to source for Ina's recipes to join in the fun. Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are moved in, but sorry things are still stressful. It always takes me ages to unpack too! Your Rosemary Roasted Cashews look wonderful. I know how you feel about rosemary, it took me ages to like it, but now I love it...I think the nuts would be delicious without it too though.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much April. I'm starting to like the flavor of rosemary with chicken, and if it's mixed along with other herbs, I do like it, so I'm becoming a convert ;). Your cashews look awesome, too.
