I love the story of the little girl who misquoted her favorite verse:
". . . that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have ever-laughing life."
The two large pecan trees in the yard are hanging tightly to several of it's bounty. Many have fallen because of the drought in NC this year. We use pecans in everything around our house: morning cereal, candies, cookies, loaf breads, salads, etc. The recipe below was given to me by my friend Vicki - who makes the best candied pecans that I have ever stuck in my mouth ;-)
SPICED CANDIED PECANS
2 quarts Pecans (use cleaned pecan halves)
2 cups granulated sugar
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
2 egg whites
2 Tbs. water
Preheat oven to 300 degrees and spray a large cookie sheet with "Pam" or non-stick cooking spray. In a large glass bowl combine egg whites and water. Beat with a mixer until stiff and fluffy. Combine all the dry ingredients and add to egg mixture. Stir well, and then add pecans gradually making sure that they are coated on all sides by the mixture. Spread coated pecans onto cookie sheet and place in preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour at 300 degrees - stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Store in covered airtight container... if they last that long.... LOL! ENJOY!
FALL FUN ACTIVITY:
Head to the pumpkin patch, take a wagon ride, run through a corn maze...
fall is full of wonderful activities for the young and young-at-heart!
FALL TRIVIA:
Which apple is best???
The tastiest pie apples are Rome, Jonathan, Fuji, and Granny Smith.
For salads, try McIntosh, Red Delicious, Empire, and Gala.
FALL ENTERTAINING IDEA:
Host a "Crock-tober Dinner" or a "Slow-Cooker Supper" to celebrate harvest
season! Invite friends to bring their favorite crockpot or slow-cooker dishes,
from mains to desserts. After dinner, take a hayride, carve pumpkins, or have
a scarecrow-building contest. It's all about being together and making memories!
God's promise for a "Harvest of Blessing"
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Galatians 6:9)
