Tapas – are you a fan? I am. Tapas are little snacks, appetizers, or small plates – hot or cold, spicy or not, savory or sweet. Who could resist?
In Spain, one can order many different tapas and combine them to make a full meal. They’re often served in bars; tapas are designed to encourage conversation. In some establishments, eating tapas isn’t a sit-down occasion, but a standing, grazing kind of experience.
I do know one kind of tapa – roasted spiced almonds. I make these roasted nuts at home to go with cocktails or wine. They’re quite flexible, and depending on what you mix in, can be a bit sweet, spicy, or salty. My version adds herbs and smoked Spanish paprika for deeper flavor.

Along with other bloggers from the Sunday Supper Movement, I’ll be at Tapa Toro in Orlando, Florida next Sunday for an evening of tapas and sangria. I’m going to experiment with live-tweeting (catch me on Twitter @GoodStuffBlog) and I’m sure to post here on the blog about the good stuff that I eat and drink. You can find and follow Tapa Toro here:

I’ve joined the Sunday Supper Movement, a group of bloggers dedicated to bringing back family supper on Sundays. You’ll find some great ideas here for game day fare! I urge you to commit to share Sunday Supper at least once a month this year. The best gift we can give our family and friends is to hug, laugh, share our stories, and enjoy great meals together.
today’s sunday supper theme is TAPAS!
