Candied nuts are one of the easiest snack foods to make and eat. I like them all year round, but they are especially great around the holidays because they’re an easy snack to put out when family and friends come out to visit, and they’re a fantastic homemade gift to take when you go for visit them. This year, I’m big on walnuts and while I’ve used pecans, almonds and cashews in the past, walnuts are my nut of choice at the moment. Walnuts are full of protein, fiber and Omega-3′s, and while I’ll never turn down a holiday cookie, even I have to admit that this is a slightly healthier holiday snack! I tossed untoasted walnuts in a lightly beaten egg white, then added in vanilla sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and salt to create a sweet and spicy coating for the nuts.
The nuts are spread on a baking sheet and toasted until the sweet coating is nice and crispy. Make sure to get them in one even layer on the baking sheet and try to coat as evenly as possible. Preheat oven to 300F. Sweet French Toast. Happy Saturday!! The sun is shining, me and my hunnie have no plans so I decided to make him some french toast on this lazy day. I have my own way of making it and though NO unfortunately it’s not healthy, I made small portions so that the calorie count wouldn’t be too terrible. I also paired it with some fresh fruit to make it sweet and keep it well balanced. Anyone can make french toast, there’s absolutely no science to it, but I wanted to post it on here because I thought it looked so cute!
Throw a bit of confectioner’s sugar over top and you are good to go! I did use light organic syrup and some no-calorie spray butter, but the BF LOVES his white bread so we splurged with that. Ingredients 2 or 3 eggs (depending on how much you're making) 2 Tbsp. skim milk 1 tsp. cinnamon (or more, I usually just eye ball it) 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 4 slices of bread, your choice Instructions Whisk the eggs and milk together then add the cinnamon and vanilla extract.

These Pepperoni Cheese Stick Roll Ups are great for kids and crowd pleasers. I know it feels a bit schizophrenic around here bouncing back and forth from healthy to naughty dishes. But there’s just so much food and so little time. Don’t I sound like Ben from the Bachelor if he were living in a mansion with girls made out of food? Okay…maybe that was a stretch.
I don’t know how you couldn’t feel a “connection” with these Pepperoni String Cheese Rollups. They’re almost like these Pizza Rolls or these Stuffed Pizza Rolls, but definitely the easiest of all of them. I made these for my kids in under five minutes.

Note: The CrockPot Fruit Butter eBook is NOW AVAILABLE! Click here for more details. …now on to the good stuff… I adapted this easy recipe from Cake Student because I had everything on hand and it worked out beautifully. I used a little more water than the recipe called for, and I did add slightly more brown sugar and spices.
By slightly more, I mean rounded teaspoons instead of being specific with my measurements. I mean can a few extra pinches of brown sugar really hurt? Crock Pot Apple Butter Makes a little more than 1 pint 1 dozen apples, peeled, cored, cubed 1/2 Cup Water 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon All Spice Step 1: Peel, Core, and Chop a dozen apples. Step 2: Toss the apples in the sugar and spices. Step 3: Put everything in the Crockpot, then [say it with me] Set It, and Forget It! Anyone else remember that infomercial? I cooked it on Low overnight and woke up to this… After a few more hours on low, I bumped it to high and propped the lid.

It’s my blog and I can rant when I want to. It’s kind of a rite of passage into adulthood that at some point in your grown-up years, you have a really terrible landlord. But I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again…my landlord is pretty much the WORST.
Exhibit A: The other day my roommates and I got locked inside our apartment (HELLO fire hazard) because our doorknob fell off. Just a casual turn of the handle and *pop! Our landlord, right? Wrong. Luckily we have a back door and were able to escape, praise Jesus. Exhibit B: I recently received an IRATE phone call from Landlady Extraordinaire because we’ve apparently been shortchanging her on rent each month. Try to guess how much we’ve been shortchanging her by. A penny! I get it. So obviously we stuck an envelope of pennies underneath her door with this month’s rent. None of that had to do with peanut butter cup s’mores. Yield: 16 large/20 small squares Ingredients. Edgar Miller's pin:Antioxidants. Fresh Food Friday: 100 Healthy Snack Ideas.

In the mood to indulge in a cheesy Mexican dish but don’t want the unnecessary calories?? These are perfect! Whether as a late night snack, yummy finger foods to bring to a party or just a simple dinner delight, these taquitos have it all except the calories! I got the idea for this recipe from my Hungry Girl cookbook and decided to make my own modifications.
With two equaling a single serving at just 197 calories and 2.5 grams of fat, you are saving about 80 calories and 10 grams of fat from a typical serving of taquitos.

Kelly's Korner: Crockpotalooza. Okay - I totally decided we would do a crockpot link up and had NO idea there was some CRAZY facebook group that the whole world belonged to called Crockpotgirls.

Well, I first saw these “cake push ups” just a few weeks ago. A member on our site mentioned them & I thought that this idea was pure genius!
Three cheers for a new way to eat cake! :0) – Basically, a very smart person (I don’t know who you are!) Figured out that push ups are not just great to use with ice cream—but with cake too! The good news is that you can order these push ups and make cake push ups for you and all of your friends! One of our members was nice enough to send me 6 to experiment with!! Here’s how you make them! Simply use a circle cutter to cut out little cake rounds from a cake layer or two.
Experiment with your favorite flavor combinations…. I made some cute little chocolate toppers that I piped with melted chocolate bark… but they would have been cute also with just a swirl of icing! Finding a way to display these is a little tricky. And the big finish!!! You can see that I experimented with lots of different flavor combinations! That’s all for now! Orange PushUp Smoothie.
When I was growing up, one of my favorite things to do was ride my bike with my friends to the local gas station’s mini-mart and reach into their freezer case and pull out an Orange Push-Up. If you like Orange PushUps, Orange Creamsicles, or Orange Julius this is the smoothie for you. I loved Push-Ups and seeing those brightly colored dots meant that creamy orange goodness was soon going to be mine.
I love it when Push-Ups begin to melt because they taste even sweeter, creamier, and better. The same was true with this smoothie. As it began to melt, it got even better. This smoothie is a dead ringer for Orange Push-Ups. Don’t skimp on the sugar if you want it to taste exactly like an Orange Push-Up and I promise, it does. Sweet oranges ‘n creamy perfection. I used this mango-orange from Hawaii’s Own brand for the concentrate. If you can’t find this concentrate, I’m sure any OJ concentrate or citrus juice concentrate blend should be fine. 1. 2. 3.
Print Recipe Yield: about 24 ounces Ingredients: Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries. These aren't anything complicated. With five ingredients, they take only a few minutes to put together. In fact, these were probably the least time-intensive food at my Cheesecake Extravaganza. Yet, I had more than a few people come up and proclaim their love for the finger food. You don't have to throw a cheesecake party to serve these....I imagine they'd be welcomed just about anytime! Another great party food, these can be made ahead of time. I did all the steps, even the sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs, twenty-four hours ahead of time and they suffered no ill consequences. Just be sure to wrap them well (I covered my plate with plastic wrap). Next time, I'll make more... this was the first food to go at the Cheesecake Extravaganza, and with good reason! Directions: 1.
