I don’t know about you, but we are obsessed with curry!! You could pretty much slap curry spices on just about anything and we would give it a try. A few weeks ago when I first made my Roasted Red Curry Potato Stack Salad for Todd and he crunched down on one of the curry roasted cashews I had tucked into the greens he immediately declared “Those cashews are insane!!” After we were done with our lunch I caught him scouring the serving platter for any cashews that had been carelessly left behind and devouring every last one of them.

I adore finding new ways to reinvent foods that he loves so I spent the next few days turning those curry roasted cashews into the perfect curry roasted trail mix. Now he can pour himself a bowl in the evenings or take a big bag with him to snack on while he is traveling for work, because lets face it, homemade snacks are the best! This blend combines all of Todd’s favorite things; cashews, pecans, walnuts, and pepitas that are slowly roasted in a spicy curry sauce then tossed with a few of my favorites sweet dried cranberries and toasted coconut flakes.  All together this trail mix is the perfect blend of sweet and heat, kind of like us.
