 I was supposed to have company today. I’ve been up with the birds, cleaning my house to make sure that everything sparkles. My Mom and Dad were coming for a visit, which was long past due. My house is always clean, but Mom is a fanatic! When she comes….I kick myself into High Gear! A… Graham Cracker Crust: 3/4 pound graham crackers 4 Tbsp. granulated sugar 2 sticks melted butter 1/4 tsp. sea salt *one viewer that made this pie, suggested using less butter, she felt there was too much in his recipe. Below, is an alternate Graham cracker pie crust recipe that I will use. Filling: 4 egg yolks…  It’s simply amazing what you can create with a Ritz Cracker, Peanut Butter, Marshmallows and warm white chocolate! I posted this recipe a long time ago, but decided to make them last night. They were a perfect treat after the BBQ Pork chops. Even my hubbie will eat one or two of these. That’s all…  This is what I made for our dinner last night. It’s really good and super easy to make on a busy night. You could also use chicken breasts if you like. This is a great way to tenderize both chicken and pork. You only need about 30 minutes from start to finish, and leftovers are… 
I love your website! Just found it from a Pinterest post. Thanks for all of the great recipes!February 8, 2012 – 5:57 pm For some strange reason, I had an abudance of pecans in my freezer that I needed to use. Usually I make candied almonds, but pecans are also very good. In fact, I think I love every kind of nut! I’m warning you now though, you can’t eat just one of these babies and then set the… 
I made these using Maple sugar that my husband brought home from canada and OH-MY-Goodness were they tasty. And gone. Thanks for a great and quick recipe!January 15, 2013 – 3:26 pm 
Made these on 12/21/12 for friends at church! It was so good and they loved them, and so did we! Most people wanted more and were so thankful for it. Thanks for a great recipe.December 26, 2012 – 12:38 am 
I made these today for Christmas dinner!!! Can you say yummy!!!December 25, 2012 – 11:19 am 
Made these today. Delicious. Thank you for the recipe. I used a combo of organic cane and organic brown sugar. Baked on parchment paper for easy clean up. Three last minute gifts done!December 24, 2012 – 4:13 pm 
Sheila, don’t try to send APO anything in a glass container! use plastic bags or something unbreakable. Make sure you seal the box well with tape if you are sending to desert areas, the sand is relentless!! The First Class boxes at the Post Office work great. 
Glazed Walnuts/Almonds/Pecans Toast nuts on a cookie sheet for 15 mins. On 350° In a sauce pan: add sugar, cinnamon, water & salt. Cook until it reaches a soft ball stage @ 240°. Add 1 tsp. Vanilla and toasted nuts. Stir well and turn heat to med. And stir until all the mixture sticks to the nuts. Pour onto a sheet of foil or wax paper and carefully seperate the nuts as the sugar mixture hardens. Enjoy!!December 17, 2012 – 6:39 pm 
Instead of stirring I used a bowl with a lid and shook the egg white and vanilla with the pecans to coat them. Same with the cinnamon sugar mixture.December 15, 2012 – 8:28 am 
You had me at Get Off Your Butt, a woman after my own heart. I’m hoping these stay well in a mason jar. I’m making them to send to my son overseas. I have no idea how long it will take with an APO address. I’ll advise him to dig in immediately. 
Hi Yevon, I wish I could tell you, but I’ve never used Splenda. JonnaDecember 7, 2012 – 10:07 pm 
Were you able to find out about using Splenda as a sub for sugar? I really want to make these but can’t use sugar. 
Do you have to use raw pecans? I have a huge bag but they are not raw. Hi Susan, I believe that it will still work….I’ve only used raw though. JonnaDecember 3, 2012 – 8:10 am
Hi Dawn, It probably really doesn’t matter, but I’ve always used raw pecans. 
Do you have to start with raw pecans? Does it matter?November 27, 2012 – 1:10 pm
I think Almond would be tasty….a different flavor! 
With these ingredients, how much does it make in onces?November 19, 2012 – 3:04 pm 
Will using almond extract be okay to substitute for the vanilla? Does it really matter? Have you tried it? This is for the Cinnamon sugar pecans.November 18, 2012 – 8:34 pm 
Pecans are coming into season here in the South. I am always looking around for holiday gift ideas. This is great. Thanks for sharing. VelvaNovember 15, 2012 – 4:34 pm
Hi Beth, I’m sure that you could freeze them, however I have never done it myself. JonnaNovember 15, 2012 – 12:26 pm 
what is shelf life & can u freeze them?November 13, 2012 – 12:45 am 
I only had 2 cups of almonds and it didn’t work. It turned into brittle and was foamy? What did I do wrong?September 26, 2012 – 9:04 pm 
It’s so delicious! YummySeptember 21, 2012 – 10:57 am 
I can’t wait to make this! I even think we’ll be using this as teacher gifts in my family. I had to share your recipe on my Tuesday tutorial(recipe) day post. I have an Etsy fan page for my shop, Eljah*B. I invite you to stop by my shop http://www.eljahb.etsy.com and my fanpage. Thank you for providing such a great recipe that reminds me of the love of fall:) blessings!September 18, 2012 – 1:56 pm 
i love this site makes my day! ThanksSeptember 14, 2012 – 8:41 pm 
Just made these for snacks while we are traveling next week and they are so good they may not make it through this evening! And so easy too! I added a little cardamon and allspice also and they have a slight chai flavor which my son will love! Thanks!September 14, 2012 – 5:53 pm 
These are amazing I am eating them now!!!August 30, 2012 – 6:58 pm 
hello i’ve been looking for a quick receipe for this and i’ve come up with some but the nut coating was too sweet to much of it and i’m looking at this pic and i think this is the nut receipe i have been looking for.Now when you ask for a websight i’m not sure other than verizon is my home page what that means. Hope to hear what it means.August 15, 2012 – 2:40 am 
I use a recipe similar to this one. Its an OLD family recipe. They are SUPER DELICIOUS and I’m asked to make them every year. Everyone loves them. I give them out as gifts along with homemade banana bread and homemade hot chocolate mix. Everyone always loves homemade gifts that they can eat!August 14, 2012 – 8:03 am 
What would be a great substitute for egg whites for people who are allergic? Can it just be left out? Thanks.July 30, 2012 – 12:41 pm 
Hi Whit,
Hi Whitney, JonnaJuly 6, 2012 – 10:14 am 
By vanilla do you mean vanilla extract? Or cut up vanilla beans?July 6, 2012 – 9:16 am
Hi Cathy, I wish I had an answer for you on this. I will do some checking, and let you know. 
I am diabetic and wondered how these would work with Splenda in place if the sugar.July 2, 2012 – 9:17 am
Hi Sheri, Good luck on the wedding. 
I want to use these to package and give as favors for my daughter’s wedding. Can you tell me how far in advance I could make them and/or package them (in plastic bags – tied) so that they don’t become sticky or soggy? Thank you!April 10, 2012 – 10:50 am 
These pecans are delicious and make wonderful gifts in Mason jars or decorative tins!February 10, 2012 – 1:05 pm 
Wow!!! These are delicious and to top it off they are so easy to make! My husband is going to be one happy man. Thanks for sharing!February 10, 2012 – 12:37 pm 
I left the previous comment. I made these for a bake sale and put them in pretty clear cellophane pretzel rod bags (long and skinny). They said they need more next time because they ran out. So easy and so good.February 6, 2012 – 6:25 pm
These are DELICIOUS! I have made them about 6 different times since finding the recipe on pinterest. If I’m making them to take somewhere, my husband sneaks some into a bowl so he can have some at home. They’re really good and easy to make. My 3 year old helped me with the mixing.February 3, 2012 – 9:37 pm 
I am so glad I found your blog. These pecans look amazing! My wife’s name is Janna and she has 5 siblings as well. I found it interesting to read about you and check out your recipes!February 2, 2012 – 5:40 am 
wow, i almost bought these at the grocery store again. This is going on the top of my to do list. I did my first baking 3 days ago and got complemented at work. Brownie mix. This should be a hit at our next party.January 29, 2012 – 11:32 pm

I have always wanted to try making these but haven’t yet. I think this year is the year! They’d make a great homemade gift. But I’ll be sure to keep plenty for myself too.  Last night, I decided to make one of my favorite cookies. These little pastry swirls are so delish! I usually use my favorite pie crust recipe, which I have previously posted, but I decided to try a pastry recipe by the Barefoot Contessa. This recipe calls for lots of butter! I used my 14-cup Cuisinart…  I’ve been busy picking a lot of these delicious little raspberries. Along with a variety of other Garden vegetables. Go here for a peek: Fresh Air. My favorite dessert made with fresh or frozen raspberries is this one: Raspberry Swirl Dessert. You will love it. It takes a bit of time to make, but on…  You can torch them! or leave them plain! Today, I decided to make these yummy little cupcakes, that I found on the Martha Stewart website. They looked a little bit time consuming, but I threw all sense to the wind, and dove in. They are lip smackin good! There are lots of pictures, so keep…  Have I got a great Cookie recipe for you! This recipe is the 2009 Betty Crocker winner. They are rich and deliciously good. These treats are a bigger and better version of one of my favorite snacks – you know the Chex Muddy Buddies. Your family might call that snack Puppy Chow. These cookies taste…  Today I was babysitting Addisyn, my little Granddaughter. We decided that we needed to bake something sweet. I happened to have four ripe bananas waiting to be used, and so we decided on Banana Bread with big chunks of walnuts for Grandpa. That would suit him just fine, but not Addi and I. We needed…
