By
Sweet and crunchy, these candied pecans are made with simple ingredients and take just a few minutes to throw together.  They are just as delicious as a topping on salads and oatmeal as they are straight from the jar. Whether you’re making them for a holiday treat, a homemade gift, or an everyday snack, this easy recipe turns humble pecans into something truly irresistible. They are perfect for the holiday season!
Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter 
3 cups pecan halves 
1/2 cup brown sugar 
1 tsp salt 
1/4 cup water

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the pecans and stir continuously for 3 minutes, to lightly toast the pecans. Add in the brown sugar, and stir for an additional 2 minutes to melt the sugar. Stir in the salt, and add the water. Cook, stir continuously, until the water is evaporated, 1-2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and spread evenly on the baking sheet.
Bake for 5-7 minutes, until fragrant and lightly crisp. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Notes: Store airtight at room temperature for up to 7 days

Potato Carrot Cheese

By
Everyone needs to try this recipe.  I could sit and dip chips in this cheese at every meal, I think.  I like that it has lots of fiber and nutrients.  It's a little cheaper than some recipes because the base is made from potatoes and carrots.  It is bursting with flavor! Ingredients: 2 C cooked potatoes 1 C cooked carrots 1/2 C nutritional yeast, scant 1/2 C water (use from cooked potatoes and carrots) 1/3 C light olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp chicken-style seasoning 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 2 oz pimientos Instructions: Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.   Serve with chips, on broccoli, as macaroni and cheese, on lasagna.  This is so very yummy!
