Here goes!
Here is my nephew packaging up some almond brittle. Yes, he washed his hands.
My sister! She made these super cute ornaments from Pinterest!
My brother! I'm getting him a pair of scissors for Christmas.
My mom! She is the artsy one of us all. Need a tiny pair of felt elf boots? She's on it.
We were frantically trying to finish the ornaments. This meant dull scissors and lots of hot glue.
Whoa. Monster Baby.
Nope. Try again.
Perfect.
Like I said, we package it all up and send them out as gifts. I made the Cowboy Cookies (seen here, Pinterest inspired packaging!) and 3 batches of Pumpkin Granola (recipe below).
In addition we had Lemon Squares, Chex Mix, Pistachio Seat Salt Bark, Almond Bark, Pumpkin Bread, Puppy Chow, Hello Dollies, Peanut Butter and Maple Rice Krispies Treats, Tarts, and Pecan Muffins.
Pumpkin Granola
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Bake: 325 degrees for 20 minutes
Cool: 20 minutes
Yield: 6 cups granola
Ingredients
5 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the oat mixture.
Toss the mixture until all of the oats are coated. Spread the granola onto a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment.
Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 20 minutes. Take the granola out and stir it around. Bake another 20 minutes or until the granola gets crisp. Take the granola out and mix in the cranberries and almonds.
