I was in a pretty good mood today. I had beef stew going on in the crockpot, I had finished the dishes, and the laundry had been well underway all day. So I decided to check out pinterest for a recipe I had been anticipating trying. I had bought a bag of pecans at the store a few days before and kept seeing them everytime I opened the cabnet door to get a plate (I did that on purpose so I wouldn't forget to make them). Went onto pinterest to get the recipe and nothing would come up! UGHHH so I had to go old school and actually google a recipe. The first one that came up was on
http://www.cooks.com/ I read the reviews and adjusted a few things and in 20 minutes, I had warm, fresh out of the oven cinnamon sugar pecans! ALOT cheaper than you would pay at the mall or the fair!
CINNAMON SUGAR PECANS
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
3 cups whole pecans (walnuts, brazil nuts, almonds)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine sugar, cinnamon and salt. Whisk egg white until frothy and add the nuts. Toss until well coated. Add dry ingredients and stir well.
Spread nuts on a cookie sheet lined with foil, in a single layer.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Cool and store in an airtight container. Can be frozen.
