Snack of the day

I made this snack today and all 3 of us love it!

Spicy Trail Mix (from Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook, by Cathe Olson)
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 heaping cup raw almonds
1 heaping cup raw walnuts or pecans
1 Tablespoon sea salt
Chili powder or paprika

Place seeds, nuts, and salt in medium-size bowl. Stir to distribute salt. Fill bowl with water to about an inch above nut mixture. (Soaking and roasting the nuts and seeds make them more digestible) Let sit 7-12 hours. Rinse and drain well. Preheat oven to 150 degrees. Spread nuts and seeds in an even layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with chili powder or paprika evenly over mixture. Roast 8-12 hours. Keep in covered jar.

*Kate's note: I used a yummy smoked paprika and chili powder and also threw on a bit more salt. I roasted at about 200 degrees for 5 hours. It tastes really good with raisins. This recipe zipped up all of the plain nuts we were eating!!
