"Man Pleasing Chicken"

Just made this tonight and it is delicious! I found it on pinterest of course and would only recommend increasing the sauce by 1/3 b/c it is that good! It is a combination of dijon mustard, maple syrup and rice vinegar... yum!

Roasted Pecans

We love this! In fact, it was part of my Christmas goodies this year to pass out, but my kiddos ate most of them before they made it out the door! They are not very sweet, but super yummy. Sometimes I half the sugar and add half splenda... it's up to you:)

2 egg whites
2 T. vanilla
2 1/4 cups pecan halves
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 t. salt
3 t. ground cinnamon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 225*F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Combine the egg whites and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat until fluffy. Fold in the pecans to coat evenly. Combine the sugar, salt and cinnamon. Spread onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Dust pecans with sugar mixture.
3. Bake in preheated oven until toasted, stirring every 15 minutes. (I usually toast for about 1 hour 15 minutes). Cool on pan and enjoy!
