Puppy Chow Almonds
I absolutely love \”puppy chow\” and had a serious craving for it this weekend. However I didn\’t have any Chex cereal so I improvised with almonds, and the result was amazing. The recipe is so ridiculously easy you\’ll want to make some tonight.
Puppy Chow Almonds
Ingredients
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup dark chocolate (milk or semi sweet will work as well)
4 cups plain almonds (mine are from Oh! Nuts)
1.5 cups powdered sugar
Directions
1. Melt peanut butter and chocolate together in a saucepan.
2. Add the almonds and stir until coated.
3. Transfer almonds to a ziplock bag (make sure some powdered sugar is at the bottom).
4. Add the rest of the powdered sugar.
5. Shake to coat.
6. Enjoy! They\’re addicting.
Gift Tag Ornaments
Attached to a bow on a gift or wrapped in a pretty box, giving ornaments is a Christmas tradition in my family. I decided that it was about time I started partaking in this tradition, however instead of buying ornaments I would make my own. This year I decided to make them using my Great Grandma\’s applesauce ornament recipe. Here you\’ll see how I used this recipe to make snowmen for friends.
2. Work mixture 2-3 minutes with your hands to form a ball.
4. Use a straw to place a hole at the top.
5. Place on a cookie sheet and allow to dry 4-5 days – your home will smell fabulous.
6. Be sure to flip the ornaments over after two days so they\’ll dry on both sides.
8. You can also paint the ornaments like I did here.

Thanksgiving Outfit
It\’s an old fashioned Michigan Thanksgiving this year (aka the ground is covered in snow and it\’s freezing). Since I spent a lot of time in the kitchen for Thanksgiving I wanted to make sure my outfit was comfortable and nothing is more comfortable than leggings, chunky knit sweater, beret and flats.
Thanksgiving themed cupcakes
This weekend I celebrated \”Friendsgiving\” I was in charge of dessert. So I made pumpkin and coconut pie as well as these chai tea cupcakes adorned with a pilgrim hat and acorn. The body of the acorn is made out of caramel while the top is a Tootsie roll while the pilgrim hat is Tootsie Roll adorned with caramel. To make the cupcakes I used a regular cake mix but added some of my chai tea mix to it and the frosting is vanilla bean.
