Grammy's Glazed Nuts

Happy Tuesday!!
I thought I would give you a quick recipe for glazed nuts that are pretty quick to whip up if you need a little after dinner treat, but are short on time to make a berry pie, a peach cobbler or homemade ice cream!

Grammy's Glazed Nuts

1 1/2 cups raw whole almonds

1/2 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 Tablespoon water {Sometimes I use vanilla}

salt

Directions:

*In a heavy 8 inch skillet {I like my Grammy's iron skillet!}, stir together the almonds, sugar,  butter and cinnamon.

*Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 6 - 8 minutes or until sugar is melted and golden.

*Add water and remove from heat once nuts are golden.

*Spread nuts onto a nonstick surface like a SILPAT, tin foil or parchment paper.

*Sprinkle with a pinch or two of salt.

SHARE and ENJOY!


This and That...

So, a few meltdowns later our "empty nest" is feeling a bit more like HOME!  I had no idea how much of our home was filled with their things that made our house feel like home.  Things like bulletin boards, pictures, Bible verses, nick nacks, games, their blankets, etc. so...I have dubbed myself the "RE-nester".  :}  And between batches and batches and BATCHES of cupcakes, I must say our little nest is feeling a bit more settled and cozy once again.

I went through all the games and narrowed them down a bit and put them in the dresser and added a fun little banner.

Since some of the "cuddle blankets" have new homes...the family favorite is  now taking up residency in a LARGE basket with a label to remind us of all the years we had to cuddle our children as we read stories, told stories, stayed warm during power outages and watched Little Rascals and Veggie Tales.  Life is a wonderful thing!
