Rosemary & Thyme Candied Walnuts These Rosemary & Thyme Candied Walnuts could be called a triple threat – they are savory, sweet and have a little heat! This post is sponsored by the California Walnut Board but all opinions are my own. Besides being a triple threat, these walnuts are addictive. I pretty much couldn’t stop eating them and may have eaten more than my share. They make a perfect holiday gift. The only problem is you better make twice as many as you think you need because you may eat more than your share too. Have you been checking out all the other great holiday gift ideas being shared as part of Bake Craft Sew? Be sure and visit my friends Cindy and Mique and see all the great ideas being shared on their blogs. I love all the flavors going on with these nuts and they are perfect for just snacking but would be delicious on a salad, in a dip or on top of a salad. And did I mention snacking?! The savory flavor comes from the fresh rosemary and fresh thyme. The sweet comes from honey and the heat comes from a little cayenne pepper. If you don’t want the heat, just leave out the cayenne. After they are coated with the mixture lay them out on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 10- 12 minutes. Your house is going to smell yummy too. After you pull them out, stir them around a few times to get them covered with any honey that might have melted off and then sprinkle with some seal salt for yet some more amazing flavor. Then just let them cool and start munching! If you have more self control than I do, wrap some of them up in a cellophane bag, add a bow and someone is going to love you for ever once they tastes these candied walnuts.

Cranberry Pecan Cake This Cranberry Pecan Cake comes together easily for a quick holiday or seasonal dessert! It makes a great neighbor gift, too! I am so excited to have Jamie from Love Bakes Good Cakes here for our Bake Craft Sew series. Jamie has some serious goodness on her blog. Her recipes are amazing and her photos beautiful. Please pay her a visit and check out all the yummy recipes! Hey, y’all! I’m Jamie from Love Bakes Good Cakes and I’m excited to be joining Leigh Anne for this year’s Bake Craft Sew 2016! I love to share delicious and simple family-friendly dishes, with everything from healthier dishes to over-the-top desserts! As a homeschooling mom with four kiddos still at home, I know how important dinner time is and how hectic it can be juggling life while getting everyone fed! I joined Leigh Anne last year with these Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies recipe. I debating on whether to share another cookie idea this year, but my kiddos convinced me that they wanted to make this Cranberry Pecan Cake instead. Back when we lived in the Midwest, we had a lovely elderly neighbor named Ms. Corky. Let me tell you, she was quite the character! Not only did she attend the same church as us, but in many ways, she became a surrogate grandma to the kids and me. It seemed like she was always baking up something good to eat and I am thankful that she shared many of her recipes with me – including this Cranberry Pecan Cake! Other than being ridiculously quick to whip together and delicious, I also love that this cake lends to being easy to customize! Sometimes, I like to add some orange zest to the batter to really make the flavor pop. I’ve even swapped out the dried cranberries for dried blueberries with equally tasty results! One of my family’s favorite things about this time of the year is that it’s finally cool enough to bake in Phoenix … and we love to bake lots of yummy treats! Although we enjoy it for dessert during the holiday season, we also like to give these Cranberry Pecan Cakes to our friends and neighbors for gifts! Wrapped in a pretty bow, it’s a simple gift idea! I hope you enjoy this as much as we do! < Cranberry Pecan Cake Print Prep time 10 mins Cook time 50 mins Total time 1 hour Author: Jamie Sherman Serves: 9 servings Ingredients ⅔ cup butter, softened 1 cup sugar 3 eggs 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder ¾ tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. salt 1 cup (8 oz.) sour cream ¾ cup dried cranberries, chopped ⅓ cup chopped pecans Powdered sugar, for dusting Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cranberry Lemon Gooey Bars Cranberry and lemon are a perfect holiday combo in these Cranberry Lemon Gooey Bars. I’m excited to have my friend Jenny from The Melrose Family back again this year for Bake Craft Sew. Last year she shared that fun Grinch Munch with us! Jenny and I are in a Mastermind group together and I always learn so much from her. Welcome Jenny! Be sure to check out all the other great ideas that are part of Bake Craft Sew over at Mique and Cindy’s blogs. With the holidays just around the corner my family and I over at The Melrose Family are gearing up for some holiday baking. There are some flavors that just seems to scream the holidays like peppermint. I’m not a huge fan though so instead I have a tendency to bake with lemon, orange, cranberries and pomegranates. This holiday will not be an exception. Especially after tasting how perfect these Cranberry Lemon Gooey Bars came out. I outdid myself on these! Cranberry Lemon Gooey Bars I first realized my love for gooey bars last spring when I made my Strawberry Pink Velvet Gooey Bars. Gooey bars are by far my favorite type of bar. The soft flaky crust with the gooey cream cheese layer in the middle combined with your favorite fruit is a match made in heaven. I was inspired by my Orange Cornbread Cake because I realized with that recipe how amazing cranberries are with a citrus cake. Plus, the sugared cranberries in that recipe are always such a huge hit because they’re so pretty. Something I learned the hard way the first time I made my gooey bars is that you absolutely have to wait until the bars have cooled before breaking into them. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a mess in your hands and they will not look anything like bars. They’ll just be bundles of cake bites. They’ll taste the same, but if you’re looking for bars make sure to let them cool before slicing them. No matter what the reason or event is for making these gooey bars, you’ll be sure to impress your guests with the flavor. They are a great alternative or addition to your holiday pie spread. My husband isn’t a pie person so we always seem to have alternatives like our Raspberry Cheesecake Cupcakes or our Caramel Apple Bread Pudding. We certainly love options! Cranberry Lemon Gooey Bars Print Prep time 15 mins Cook time 45 mins Total time 1 hour Author: Leigh Anne Wilkes Serves: 18 bars Ingredients Lemon Supreme Cake Mix 3 eggs ½ cup of butter melted 8 oz cream cheese 1 cup of powdered sugar 1 cups cranberries halved Instructions Preheat the oven at 350 F and line a 9 x 13 baking dish with tin foil. Spray the tin foil with cooking spray. Combine the lemon supreme cake mix, 1 egg and melted stick of butter for the crust. Push ⅔ of the crust onto the tin foil to create the crust layer. In a separate bowl combine the cream cheese, 2 eggs and powdered sugar. Place the cream cheese layer over the crust. Cover the cream cheese layer with the cranberries that are cut in half. Drop pieces of the leftover crust on top of the cranberry gooey layer. Bake for 45 minutes. Let cool before cutting into bars. 3.5.3217 You might also like… Orange Cornbread Cake Be sure to stop by The Melrose Family for more holiday inspiration.

Pomegranate Guacamole I’m excited to welcome Pam from Over the Big Moon to the blog today. I’m a big guacamole fan and I loved her dressed up, holiday version! Hey new friends! I’m Pam from http://ift.tt/2fjCJ9gOver the Big Moon is a place where I share lots of DIY’s, Recipes, Printables, Home Decor and more as I enjoy all phases of life with my cute little family! Today I’m excited to share with you one of my favorite drinks to serve over the holidays – Pomegranate Guacamole! I would say hands down my favorite thing to take to any type of get together is a good tasty appetizer that everyone can enjoy immediately! Earlier this year I was introduced to this Pomegranate Guacamole recipe from a friend and I became obsessed! I’ve taken it to a few Fall BBQ’s the last couple months and it’s been such a hit! Everyone has loved it and I’ve even been asked for the recipe for a handful of times! This recipe should only take you less than 10 minutes to throw together! Well, that is if you are like me and buy the pomegranate seeds in the little pre-packaged containers at your local grocery store! If you are ambitious and know that wooden spoon trick to get the pomegranate seeds out, then high five to you. But, honestly, I’m just too lazy for that! Plus, I hate nothing more than scrubbing stains out of shirts and without fail when I try to open a pomegranate the juice shoots on me. To make the guacamole, start by gathering all the tasty and colorful ingredients! You’ll need: 3-4 Ripe Avocados (depending on size) 1/2 cup Red Onion, chopped 1/3 cup Cilantro, chopped 4 tablespoons Lime Juice 4 tablespoons Lime Juice 1 teaspoon Salt 1/2 teaspoon Pepper 1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and then slice into small chunks. Spoon the chunks into a medium bowl. Add the red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mash together using a fork until you reach the consistent you like. I tend to like mine on the chunkier side! Gently stir in the pomegranate seeds and serve with chips! SO SIMPLE!!! Here’s the recipe (condensed for an easier read)!
