Toasted Pecans

  We've saved the simplest form of pecans for last.  The only thing you do to these babies is toast them in the oven.  While we had these at our Thanksgiving dinner, they are a perfect tasty snack throughout the holidays.  Think "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" except that they're pecans toasting in the oven.  Okay, so that analogy didn't quite work, but you get the point.  It makes your house smell cozy, inviting and as delicious as the pecans actually taste.
