Once I was making a salad.

This salad, from Cooking with Love has these spicy sweet glazed pecans.

I flip over to the pecan recipe and begin reading the ingredients. When I came to “egg whites” my eyes glazed over.

I’m sure her spicy sweet pecans are delish, like all of the other recipes I tried, but seriously… I’ve got two hungry kids asking for snacks and a clingy 5-month-old that insists on being suspended, face-out, from my chest during dinner prep.

Plus, I don’t separate eggs at 5:30PM on Wednesdays. So, I cheated.

Nuts go in a pan.
Then a glug of maple syrup.
A sprinkle of ginger.
And a pinch of salt.

Let it get bubbly. And in a couple if minutes the syrup will be gone and you’re left with sweet, sticky, slightly-spicy glazed pecans.

(My kids loved them, so they weren’t too spicy.) If you don’t like or want ginger on them, cinnamon would be a good substitute..

These glazed pecans be the first recipe that is in both the salad and the dessert section

These sticky little morsels MADE that salad. And I’m sure they would also MAKE some lonely caramel ice cream sundae somewhere.

Or you could just eat them by themselves.

I know, right? SO addictive. I think sometimes that I make the salad so I can justify making those pecans, too. Glad you liked them!

Howdy, you have such a fantastic domain, it was impossible not to comment on it! And I got a question for you. Is it a paid blog theme which you purchase or you used a default one?

Oh my. These were SO delicious and easy! Pecans are my favorite and I have a whole costco sized bag in my pantry. This could be very very bad!

Love these far too much. The pecans and the salad you put them in are gorgeous.
