Pioneer Woman at Heart: Honey Roasted Cashews ~ Oven Baked Frozen Garden Green Beans ~ Gingersnap Pear Pie (old post link)

Winner recipe! New recipe tried!

I had just enough cashews to use up, and the oven was already on, so.....

Of course I used my homemade garlic powder in this recipe.

Perfect for a chacturie board for any occasion.

Delicious as a snack.

The recipe is free online with The Southern Lady Cooks.

A bit sticky for a travel snack, but pack it up and enjoy it at your accommodations with cheese/crackers and a bottle of wine.

It would make a nice gift too, along with some other creatively made food items, a bottle of wine, or specialty cheese/crackers. The ideas are pretty endless.

I've been experimenting with our frozen garden green beans. I recently just tossed a bag full (maybe 3 cups) into an 8 x 8 baking dish, added 1/2 tsp. homemade garlic powder, and drizzled it with some organic olive oil. Gave them a toss with some tongs, and baked them at 400° for 30 minutes. I then sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top of them. Oh my gosh! Delicious, and so easy for a winter side dish.

I had a blog follower interested in the ginger pie, so I went on a search and found it. We did not get pears from our trees last year. The proper name for the pie is Gingersnap Pear Pie. Gosh, I haven't made this in many years. I have frozen the pears for this pie before, and it still turned out delicious.
