These are very well received. I make them and place little bowls around and they always come with empty bowls for refills. I use almonds whole, and pecans. I think walnuts would be good too.

Rosemary Nuts

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon dried crumbled rosemary

 ½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon cayenne

1 cup nuts

Melt butter with herbs and salt.

Toss with nuts.

Bake 10 minutes @350.

Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

2 green peppers, sliced

1 sweet ONION, sliced

1 tablespoon OLIVE OIL

2 pkgs. (12 oz each) Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

1 1/2 lbs. sliced deli roast beef

1/4 cup butter

1 1/2 teaspoons dried minced ONION

1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce

Cook green peppers and ONION in OIL over medium-high heat until tender, 8-10 minutes.  Without separating rolls, cut each package of rolls in half horizontally; arrange bottom halves in a greased 9x13" baking pan.  Layer with roast beef, pepper mixture and cheese; replace top halves of rolls.

Melt butter, dried ONION, Worcestershire Sauce and garlic powder.  Drizzle over rolls.  Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.  

Preheat oven to 350.  Remove rolls from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.  Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes.  Cover with foil and continue baking until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes longer.

POUTINE WITH HOMEMADE GRAVY  

(from Carlsbad Cravings)

GRAVY

• 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp EACH dried parsley, granulated beef bouillon
• 1/2 tsp EACH dried parsley, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper
• 1/4 tsp EACH dried oregano, dried thyme

FRENCH FRIES & CHEESE    

FROZEN FRIES  

table salt  

2 cups white cheddar cheese curds room temp.

MAKE GRAVY

1. Whisk cornstarch with chicken broth until no lumps remain; set aside.
2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, and cook while stirring for 2 minutes (no less!). Turn heat to low and gradually whisks in beef broth followed by chicken broth (with cornstarch). Add all remaining gravy ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer until thickened (gravy will thicken more upon standing).
3. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste – I like ¼ teaspoon EACH more of both. Taste and add more vinegar if you would like a tangier gravy. Set aside.

COOK FRENCH FRIES

ASSEMBLE

ADD CHEESE CURDS FIRST, THEN GRAVY

• Cheese curds:   If you can't locate cheese curds, use a block of low moisture mozzarella cheese, torn or chopped into large chunks, 1-2 inches. 
• Use room temperature cheese curds:  Cold cheese curds won’t soften even when drenched with hot gravy.  Instead, room temperature curds are the only way to go. Remove the cheese curds from the refrigerator when you start heating your oil. 

**my notes:  Being a border area, we have had Poutine a million ways to Sunday.

What I like best about this recipe is her Home Made Gravy.

The majority of the time, we go off the grid a bit w/ our Poutine and use chopped small potatoes instead. 

It works much better when serving guests as you can keep it warm in the oven.

FF have a very short serving time, IMHO, whereas using pots makes this a 'Make Ahead Dish'

Traditional, is FF...but many restaurants have stepped away from our Canadian friends and used different types of potato.
