Keto Snack Recipe Review

Momma Sassy and I thought we would try a Keto snack recipe. It's easy and has only 2 ingredients. What's great about this recipe is you can use your choice of cheese and center. 

Ingredients

• Shredded cheese of your choice
• Pickel of your choice

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350. 

2. Spray your pan with a cooking spray. 

3. Put a layer of cheese in each section. (We decided to use a fiesta blend of shredded cheese) 

4. Put a pickle slice (or whatever you would like) on top of the cheese. We used Mt. Olive hamburger dill pickles. 

5. Cover with another layer of cheese.

6. Bake at 350 for about 12-14 minutes. We took ours out at 13 minutes.

Easy to take out of the pan!

If you have an air fryer (which we don't) they may come out crispier.  I suggest you have a sauce with them to add another flavor to this snack. We tried ranch dressing and the Wahlburgers sauce. 

Our opinion of this snack...it was EASY! This one did not have enough flavor, so the dip helped.

We want to try a pizza flavor with pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and a pizza sauce to dip!

If you have tried something similar, let us know!

Stay warm and sassy,

DIY Easy Cinnamon Ornaments

I hope the holiday season is going wonderfully for you. I'm sure you've done all your decorating and have started on the cookies and treats. What a fun time of year, do you agree?

Today I'm going to share with you the most delicious-smelling homemade ornaments ever.   I've made these in the past and let me tell you, it will be a staple on your tree for years to come.

These Easy Cinnamon Ornaments are a simple & fun craft for kids (and kids at heart) that smell amazing hanging on your Christmas tree.

This particular recipe comes from McCormick.

INGREDIENTS 15 Servings 

• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 2 bottles (2.37 oz. each) McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
• Cookie cutters
• Drinking straw
• Colorful ribbon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Mix applesauce and cinnamon in a small bowl until a smooth ball of dough is formed. (You may need to use your hands to incorporate all of the cinnamon.) Using about 1/4 of the dough at a time, roll dough to 1/4-inch to 1/3-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap. Peel off the top sheet of plastic wrap. Cut dough into desired shapes with 2- to 3-inch cookie cutters. Make a hole at top of the ornament with a drinking straw or skewer. Place ornaments on a baking sheet. 
2. Bake 2 1/2 hours. Cool ornaments on wire rack. (Or, to dry ornaments at room temperature, carefully place them on a wire rack. Let stand 1 to 2 days or until thoroughly dry, turning occasionally.)
3. Insert ribbon through holes and tie to hang. Decorate with opaque paint markers, found in arts and crafts stores, if desired.

TIPS AND TRICKS

Test Kitchen Tip: Or use 1 bottle (4.12 ounces) McCormick® Ground Cinnamon. If a larger size bottle of cinnamon is used, measure 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cinnamon.

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

It's that time of year when we get out the flour and sugar and get to making Christmas cookies. I find myself getting bored of making the same cookies year after year. I'm always looking for new recipes and I found a boatload of them. So I'm going to share with you some links to hundreds of cookie recipes. It's going to be COOKIE OVERLOAD! 🤣

Let's get started!

Taste of Home has 150 of Their Best Christmas Cookie Recipes.  Buttery Spritz Cookies, Ugly Sweater Cookies, Candy Cane Snowballs, and more. I think the ugly sweater cookies are adorable, not so much ugly.

Food.com has 80 of the Best Christmas Cookies. 4-Ingredient Fudge Crinkles, Chocolate Peppermint Pinwheel Cookies, Snowball Cookies, and more. The 4-ingredient cookies is right up my alley.

Betty Crocker has some Festive & Fun Christmas Character Cookies, great for the kiddos. Polar Bear Cookies, Easy Reindeer Cookie Bars, Santa Heart-Shaped Cookies, and more. I will have to make at least one of these this year with my grandson.
