Roasted Cinnamon Pecans
Per serving
...a close fascimile of Trader Joe's Glazed Cinnamon Pecans. Walnuts are a good substitute for the pecans. Cookgirl has been officially banned from all Trader Joe's on the West Coast. I knew it would happen eventually. I am now forced to wear my Groucho Marx glasses to shop at any Trader Joe's.
