Polynesian Nuts

This is a recipe I got from one of my weekends at the lake with my girlfriends. I go away for a weekend every Sept. I highly recommend it. These go great at a Christmas party or any gathering. I guarantee you’ll be making a double batch!

2 tbsp butter, melted
2 cups pecans (almonds or macadamia nuts can be used too. I’ve only used pecans)
2 tsp soya sauce
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Coat nuts in melted butter. Spread on a baking sheet. Bake at 325 for 15-20 mins. stirring twice.
Sprinkle soya sauce, salt and cayenne over top. Stir well. Cool before storing in airtight container.

If you want a decadent cake this is it!!

This is Yooper's recipe - I brought it over here from CC

So the Mexican ravioli turned out quite good. Here's how:

1 24-oz pkg frozen ravioli

1 10-oz can red or green enchilada sauce

about 10 pitted black olives, sliced

1 1/2 cups shredded cheese--use shredded cheddar with red enchilada sauce, OR

                                            use shredded Monterry Jack with green enchilada sauce

Preheat oven to 350F. Cook ravioli according to package directions. Drain. Pour into 2 qt casserole dish. Add sliced olives, half the shredded cheese, and whichever kind of enchilada sauce you prefer. Mix well and sprinkle the other half of the cheese over the top. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

I serve this with just a salad, but it might also be good with refried beans. Until today, I'd always made it using red enchilada sauce and shredded cheddar. DH liked it better with green enchilada sauce and Monterrey Jack cheese. I like them both

I made this for a family reunion, and am always asked to bring again and again...
