Cinnamon Roasted Almonds

By -

Whenever I go to any sort of festival, sporting event, or fair, I immediately head towards the roasted almonds stand.

These little guys are absolutely delicious, and I've been searching for a good recipe for them for a looong time. They always seem to turn out too bland or have way too much spice.

I've finally gotten this one down, and let me tell you, it's pretty scrumptious and super easy as well!

An added bonus: your house will smell amazing as they bake.

Ingredients:

2 Egg Whites
2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
4 Cups Whole, Raw Almonds
1/3 Cup Sugar
1/3 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy and then beat in the vanilla. 

Add the almonds and stir to coat them all evenly.

In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

Add the dry mixture to the almonds and stir to coat.

Spread evenly onto greased baking pans.

Bake for about thirty minutes, stirring once while baking.

Let cool, and try not to eat them all in one sitting.

Enjoy!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
