INGREDIENTS:
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup almonds
(or your preferred nut or mix of nuts)
• ½ tsp salt (optional)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1 cup warm water
HOW TO:
• Mix sugar and water over medium heat until well mixed.
• Add the salt and cinnamon. Stir to mix.
• Add the raw almonds.
• Stir constantly over medium heat. The sugar will dissolve. This takes about twenty-five minutes.
• You can choose to pour the almonds onto a cookie sheet while in a glaze. If you go this route separate the almonds with two forks. You must act quickly.
• Second option is to wait until the glaze bursts into crystallized sugar. When this happens pour on baking pan and separate quickly.
• Let cool before eating. They taste better when they’re not hot.

Easy Recipes
Cooking is pretty simple if you are patient enough to follow instruction and willing to have fun and add your own flair (I encourage personal flair greatly). Some of the recipes in this blog are one’s I have made up myself or have found on the internet and have simplified.
Most of these recipes use real food you should have in your kitchen. If not, you will find that buying real food (instead of the cheap boxed and canned kind) is cheaper. It might not seem like it, but guess what, left overs save so much $$! And, if you have the right kind of leftovers, you can create a whole new dish.
Here is a hint if you live in a dry climate: Do not leave food out where the air can get to it (I learned this the hard way). Bread should always be tied safely in its bag or put in a bread box. Tupperware is wonderful for brownies, banana bread (and other bread), rolls, brown sugar, and anything else that can dry out and become as hard as rock.
Yes brown sugar can dry out and will become as hard as rock!
However, if you forget to safely put away your food there is hope! So long as your bread is not one of the things that you forgot about. Put whatever you have that has dried out in a Tupperware, put a piece of bread in it and seal shut. I did this with my rock hard brown sugar and the next day it was as soft as when I had bought it!
So here are some recipes, have fun and enjoy! The more you cook with real food and spices the better you will become at adding your own flair and maybe even making your own recipes!
