Could I omit the sunflower seeds and use something else? Maybe pistachios or sesame seeds, or a mix of the two? My son is highly allergic to sunflower seeds so we have to watch out for them in everything.
Yes you can use whatever nuts your would like!:)
Hi,
Thanks for being so kind to let me view your recipes. I have a question about hemp hearts. What are they exactly, what do they taste like, and are they vital to the making of the Spicy Nut Mix?
They are not vital to this recipe… you can replace it with more almonds or sunflower seeds. Hemp Hearts are a seed that are full of protein.
Where do I find and what are hemp hearts? thx, love your recipes!
You can find Hemp Hearts in the salad toppings department of your grocer. Hemp Hearts are seeds.
I have never heard of Herb de Provence seasoning ? What could I use in replacement? Thanks!
I found it at Whole Foods. It is a combination of Marjoram, Rubbed Sage, Thyme, Basil, Rosemary, Savory and Lavender.
What would you substitute for egg whites. Allergy.
Hmmm… that I do not know… I am not good figuring out egg substitutes. I’m sorry.
Ifi wanted a spicy sweet version how much gentle sweet would you suggest to add ?
I’d do a good tbsp or two.
Have you used unrefined coconut oil and how did it taste if have? Love love your recipes ❤️ Also, is the red pepper cayenne?
I think it would taste fine! Yes, cayenne pepper.
