Cinnamon Roasted Almonds. Cinnamon Roasted Almonds Crunchy, cinnamon glazed almonds are an amazingly delicious treat to bring to a party or gathering. I love roasted almonds and put a sugar crust on them and I am in heaven! :) I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping last week and couldn’t help but notice the extremely long line for the Bavarian roasted nut cart. The smell emanating from the area smelled so delicious. I can see why people were willing to stand in line in cold temperatures, below zero wind chill, and flying snow. Although I had no time to stand in line, I came home and made my own cinnamon roasted nuts. Crunchy, cinnamon glazed almonds!

Goldfish crackers seem to be present wherever toddlers are found. The little goldfish crackers seem to be the perfect mate for little fingers. Myles is not quite toddling yet, but just as I’ve done advance reading to know what to expect, I also thought some advanced baking might be in order to learn the secret behind the goldfish goldmine. Are goldfish crackers something that I could easily make myself using a cheddar of my choosing? YES! The hardest part of making goldfish crackers, as it turns out, is the time it takes to cut them out.
I found the goldfish cracker recipe on YumSugar and they got the recipe from Country Living.

I’m at Bakerella‘s book signing in Austin! We’re about to embark on a fun Girl Hunter Weekend to celebrate outdoorsyness, togetherness and my upcoming Girl Hunter book release. Amazon just named it a “best book of the month,” which is pretty exciting. But I want to talk about cranberries and another homemade holiday gift idea.
I love homemade gifts, they’re so satisfying and thrifty and pioneering. This one I call “cranberry chews.” It’s super simple, you start with a bowl of cranberries and some sugar. Toss the cranberries in a pot with water and turn on the flame. Let them stew, giving them a stir every so often. You’ll spread them out on a silpat or parchment…. There will be some jelly goo surrounding it but that’s okay. Separate the cranberries as best you can with a fork so they have space to dry.
They’re done when they’re just slightly tacky. Peel them off a bit at a time and put them in festive gift bags. Sprinkle a little sugar in there too to help keep them from sticking together. Tortilla Crisps. I Made Popcorn. September 16, 2005 | By Adam Roberts | 12 Comments This is really lame, and I apologize. Again, I started school this week so I didn’t have time to cook anything or eat anywhere interesting.
Last night I came home hungry and I made popcorn. My technique was a mix of a few I’d learned. Second kottke reference of the day: I read kottke’s Popcorn Hacks post a few weeks ago and found it interesting. He says you can make microwave popcorn in a large pot. That second part is the same one Nancy Silverton advises with her caramel corn recipe. I covered it and when the first one popped, I began to shake vigorously. This was very fresh tasting and enjoyable. You know, I think if I have one food philosophy it’s not anti-fat (obviously) or anti-carb (no kidding): it’s anti-chemical.

A $5 Dinner from the Corner Bodega [Homemade Hummus with Homemade Pita] November 12, 2007 | By Adam Roberts | 24 Comments There are moments when I don’t want to plan a dinner, but I don’t want to order in either. In those moments, I think about quick solutions: what if I buy some bread and make an egg salad sandwich? Why don’t I heat up leftover French onion soup? Or–in recent days–why not make some polenta? Tonight, coming back from a day in the city, I craved hummus. . - a can of chickpeas - packets of yeast (yes, they have dried yeast at our corner bodega) - a lemon That was it.
The rest was a matter of minutes. As for the hummus, I made a terrible discovery when I went to make The Barefoot Contessa’s recipe: I had no Tahini. But then I went online and searched “hummus without tahini” and learned that you can, indeed, make hummus without tahini: just pulverize all the same ingredients without tahini. Here’s what I pulverized: - a can of drained chickpeas (liquid reserved) - the juice of one lemon - two cloves of garlic chopped up - salt - pepper - red pepper flakes. Homemade Cheez-Its | Petite Kitchenesse. I think it’s a widely agreed-upon fact that the typical “office-job” environment fosters terrible eating habits. The four years I spent working in an office could serve as a prime example of how someone should not treat their body. At my craziest, I was working between 50–60 hours a week, and allowing no time in my morning routine to eat breakfast or pack lunch.
By 7:00 a.m., I’d be at my desk, mainlining coffee and grumbling out responses to emails as I typed them. Around 10:00 a.m., I’d take a break to chat with coworkers and devour an ungodly amount of cheese and crackers. (My department was never without several boxes of crackers and a block of cheese—a modus operandi I still live by, but practice on a slightly more subdued scale.) At least once a week, we’d take a trip to Panera for lunch and I’d justify buying a loaf of tomato basil bread to “take home,” which would then turn into a half hallowed-out bread shell before the day was done. Preheat your oven to 350°. Candied Almonds. I have had a very tough time with my Christmas shopping this year. I just don’t know what to get people anymore. I think I used to be pretty good about buying good gifts but not anymore! I always do a gift exchange with my book club. This year I bought a gift for the wrong person!!
So embarrassing! I don’t know what happened. Last year, I made all of my friends a tray of Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls.

I am not one of those people that eat strictly organic, natural, and whole foods. Just check this, this and this. Overall, I am not a very healthy eater.
My diet consists of mostly bread, pasta, cheese and sugar. Oh, and heavy cream. That’s a staple these days. Even though these fruit roll ups cannot be considered healthy I think they can be called healthier. Here is what you'll need.

However, I felt like mixing things up a little bit. Now, these grahams can be either soft, chewy, graham-flavored cookies, or, when you roll the dough a little thinner, they can be crunchy graham crackers. As I was looking through my cupboard and came across a set of miniature Noah’s Ark cookie cutters, I thought I would try my hand at making my own animal-shaped grahams. I always feel better about what my family is eating when it’s homemade. Begin by mixing together the flours, sugar, powder, soda, and salt. Then, cut in the butter with a pastry blender. After the butter is all cut in, the mixture will resemble coarse crumbs. Chill the dough before you want to roll it out.

Thanks to Kate for holding down the fort without me. She and I are spoiled having two people to share the blogging load with, so when one of us is MIA it’s a lot of work for the other- thanks girl!
So guess what? Today is my birthday. Well today as in Tuesday (at nearly midnight) when I’m sitting here preparing this post, not today as in Wednesday when you are all reading it. Let me tell you about my birthday. Soooo this post/recipe has another half to it and I was going to post them both today, but if I stay up any later to do that then I’m going to have to sit in a jogging stroller while my work-out buddy wheels me around. This is as simple as it gets (sorry to my brother Drew who literally just finished telling me on the phone that he thinks it’s lame when our recipes don’t have more than 3 ingredients).

I promised some of you on Facebook a cool science trick to impress the kiddos today, but I’m changing my mind after making a batch of fresh potato chips and realizing while munching that I’ve never written about them here.
And that’s a crying shame. I’ve mentioned before that I don’t fry a lot at home; it’s a once-and-a-while kind of thing at our house, so when we do it’s especially good. Maybe because it feels naughty. And admit it; sometimes a little bit of naughty is fun. While you prep your potatoes you can heat up your oil. You’ll want uniform, paper thin slices, so unless you have the knife skills of a ninja, I recommend using either a mandoline or a food processor.
Gently place some potatoes into the hot oil. It only takes a couple of minutes for them to get a nice golden brown. Do you all have a spider in your kitchen? Place the chips on some folded paper towels and season immediately so the seasonings will stick onto the hot chips. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Homemade Animal Crackers. A funny thing happened on Monday night. As we were climbing into bed, Mr. How Sweet was detailing his intense craving for sweets. He was begging for cookies and brownies and cake, none of which we had. Then he talked about animal crackers for a good 10 minutes. It was like our roles had reversed. Then he asked if I could make animal crackers. Plus, are these not the most adorable things you’ve ever seen? There was something fun about making the cookies slash crackers. And I had no idea that animal crackers were made with oats. I also used half whole wheat flour in an effort to make them a bit healthier. The mini animal cookie cutters are a Noah’s Arc set by Wilton.
Hello, Mr. And eat you I did. We loved the cookies, but there are a few things to note. They are not sweet. Mr. Homemade Animal Crackers slightly changed from allrecipes 1/2 cup oats 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Homemade Fruit Leather. 2011 has been all about stepping outside the box.
I’ve made risotto with fruit, homemade naan, bacon granola bars, chocolate chip cookie dough stuffed cinnamon rolls, plus a slew of other recipes I probably wouldn’t have attempted if it wasn’t for this site. I even roasted a chicken. And I definitely didn’t think I’d ever find myself making homemade fruit leather. But since I would single-handedly devour a 12-pack of fruit roll-ups as a kid, I knew it had to be done. I think my roommate and I even had a 48-pack of fruit roll-ups in college… that lasted a week, maybe?
Oops. And we all know how much I love my fruit leather from Trader Joe’s. The thing about fruit leather is that it is incredibly easy! And it only contains four ingredients. Head on over to the Tasty Kitchen blog to get the step-by-step recipe.
