Candied pecans make a wonderful addition to salads and desserts. They also make a wonderful snack! I like to make up big batches around the holidays for hostess gifts and as an addition to Christmas gift baskets. They’re easy to prepare and so delicious! 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 egg…
This cranberry sauce is sweet and tart and sparkles with the flavors of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and fresh orange zest! It reminds me of a cosmopolitan cocktail. In our house we call these Cosmo Cranberries. They’re so delicious and wonderful paired with whatever holiday goodies you have cooking in your kitchen. And… have you ever…

It’s that time of year again! The time of year when everything is pumpkin spice and everything nice. I love it when we turn the calendar to September and the kids are back in school. My kids are done with school now, at least for the time being, and it’s a bit strange, but I…
