Nutty Neighbor Christmas Gift

Are you looking for an easy & quick neighbor gift?  I whipped up a batch of Cinnamon Sugar Pecans today in my crock-pot to deliver to our neighbors tomorrow!  They were fairly simple and tasted delish!






Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

2 egg whites
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 ½ cup white sugar
1 ½ cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp. cinnamon
5 cups pecans

In a medium sized bowl beat or whist your egg whites until they are foamy. 
Add in vanilla and give a stir.
Empty pecans in a bit at a time and coat with egg white mixture.
In a separate bowl combine sugars & cinnamon. 
Mix well.
You can combine your sugar mixture and pecans using either of these two methods:
 Pour pecans in a freezer size ziplock & add in the sugar mixture.  Seal and shake.

OR

Add sugar mixture to bowl of pecans a little at a time stirring to coat.




{We are completely out of freezer ziplocks in our house so I went with the bowl mixture}.

Place coated pecans in your slow cooker and cook on high for 2 ½ hours stirring every 30 minutes. 
When finished “cooking” set out on a cookie sheet and break up any big clumps of pecans.
Place in cellophane bags and voilĂ !




You will find a free printable to add before delivery here!


Merry Christmas,

Small Ways: Day 2



Small Ways Day 2 called for a handwritten note left for CH.  I loved this small way & I am glad it is on my list multiple times this month!



CH drinks milk every morning with his breakfast, so while he was out pulling his tire this morning I popped the note in the fridge.

Small Ways: Day 1

Starbucks Hot Chocolate






I'm not going to lie y'all.  Day 1 was hard.  
It was 5:30, I was finally leaving school and the only thing I really wanted to do was go home and go to bed.  But the surprise & smile on Coach Husband's face was worth the extra fifteen minutes.  i


Love you Coach Husband.


25 Small Ways

Y'all my husband is so good to me.  He loves me intentionally, serves me with a selflessness that is a picture of Christ and leads our household with a quiet voice.  He never judges, shoots it straight and is the hardest worker I have ever met.  He does this all without a word of complaint or in an effort to stock up points to later redeem.  

Because of how wonderful he is, I wanted to start a "tradition" of my own.  Every December I will show Coach Husband how much I love him in 25 Small Ways.  One "small way" each day starting on December 1st leading up to Christmas to show CH how much I love him!
