Big T and I had a splendid time celebrating the Christmas season this weekend with festive parties each night and even more fun during the day....
Big T and about 50 of his closest mates donned Santa suites and biked around town spreading Christmas cheer....the kids at Children's Mercy Hospital loved it. How cool is it that Santa Rampages are sweeping the nation?
While Big T was biking, I was baking. These sugared pecans are Big T's Grandmom's recipe.
Here's what you need:
1 pound pecans
1 egg white
2 T water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
In 2 large bowls:
In first bowl: whip one egg white with 2 T water until frothy, coat pecans with this mixture
In second bowl: mix 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of cinnamon, combine with coated pecans
Spread out on large cookie sheets
Bake at 250F for 1 hour--gently stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheets.
Friends, I have to hide these from Big T.
Every Christmas my prayer group gets together to exchange handmade gifts and celebrate the season.
This Sunday we went to see Mother Teresa's movie. Here message of doing little things with great love is incredibly inspiring. Afterwards, we went for a cocktail and exchanged our treats. I am so blessed to be able to share the spirit of the season with these women.
