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.

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.

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.

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? 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.)

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.

Baked Cinnamon Chips. Aloha!

It’s good to be back! 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. How To: Make Homemade Potato Chips. 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. 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. Homemade Fruit Leather. 2011 has been all about stepping outside the box.
