Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

from our family

Between the flu bug and our first trip to the Emergency Room.

Christmas Parties and delivering goodies to neighbors, friends, and family.

I can't believe Christmas is just a few days away.

I've always said my family comes before this blog and that's why I've not posted much lately.

Lord willing after the first of the year I'll be back with some wonderful recipes.

Thank you all so much for reading and commenting. You are very dear to my heart.

Blessings!

Candied Pecans

{Candied Pecans}

I LOVE roasted pecans and almonds.

These candied pecans are similar to the ones they roast at the mall.

You know the amazing aroma we smell as we shop.

Truth is we only get to the mall a few times a year.  But we always buy some of these.

Now you can create them at home. Filling our homes with that wonderful aroma.

Pecans (or almonds) Sugar, Egg White, Salt, Cinnamon, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Water

Place the pecans in a bowl.  Coat with egg white. Cover with Sugar, Salt, Cinnamon, Spice, Water

Mix till well coated

Place on baking sheet and Bake 250'

30-35 min  Stir every 10 min

Cool

Enjoy!

Candied Pecans:

1/2 LB Pecan Halves

1 Egg White

1/2 Cup White Sugar

1/2 TB Water

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

1/4 tsp Cinnamon

Another great idea:

Grab some Planters Winter Spiced Nuts at the store

Roast in the oven at 250'  5-10 min

Cool. Serve .Enjoy!

As we enter into the Christmas Holiday season my prayer is you slow down.

Bless!  Don't Impress!

Enjoy the beautiful glow of a candle.  Turn off the television. Curl up with a good book.

Enjoy the warmth and joy of the season!
