I like to try out new recipes at least once before serving them a parties, so I tried this Ina Garten recipe, from her Make It Ahead cookbook, for Zeke and I for dinner a week before I served it to my Book Club.

Chipotle & Rosemary Roasted Nuts
So, this was a definite keeper from my Five-Star Weekend Bookclub Meeting.
