Every time I cook anything with paprika I'm like "wow this smells like my grandparents' house"
#we have a eunning joke in our family about coming from eastwrn Europe#guess it's true#anyway I'm roasting sunflower seeds!#I'm so excited because my grandparents always had them around#and it's such a big part of my childhood#going to their house and eating all their sunflower seeds while my frandmother tried to take them away so i wouldn't eat all of them#and they havent made them in years because my grandmother doesn't cook qnymore#but i randomly remembered them a few weeks ago and asked got the recipe from my uncle#and this is my second time making them and I'm making a ton#and maybe I'll have enough to bring over to my grandparents#i hope they come out good#i mean it's no rocket science lol#it's salt paprika and garlic powder#and some water#and roasted for 15 ish minutes#i love them though they go great with so many things and as a snack#on avocado#or salads#or tahini#or hummus or cheese if i ate cheese#I'm sure they sell them roasted#it's more a sentimental thing i guess#and it makes my house smell like my grandparents when we used to come over on fridays#when my grandmother used to cook#idk
