OLD-FASHIONED ROASTED PECANS
My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. I found out how they make the roasted pecans at the fair. Even though they use big roasters, these turn out just as great.

TOASTED CHILE PECANS
I adopted this recipe. I think that the quality of chili powder really does matter for this recipe, as does watching the baking time. It is easy to burn the seasoning on the pecans.
