Curried Cashews

As you are gearing up for Thanksgiving travel and black Friday shopping, remember to plan ahead to stay on track with your healthy eating plan.  Nuts make a great portable snack- buy individual pre-portioned packs to store in your car, carry on, purse, or pocket. Or, better yet... make your own roasted nuts and portion about 1/4 cup in snack-sized bags. 

Try this yummy, warm and toasty recipe to keep on hand for when you are out and about this week.
