A "Pile to File" Recipe ~ Cranberry Nut Clusters


I had a stash of chocolate left from last Christmas.  I had cashews that I had not yet made Curried Cashews with, and I had some organic dried cranberries for salads.

....and I had 10 minutes before my washing machine was done.

I made Cranberry Nut Clusters.  Easy, quick and delicious.  Another new, and amazingly quick, recipe.


12 oz. chocolate, melted
2/3 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup cashews


Melt chocolate, add last two ingredients, and drop by teaspoon to waxed paper.  Cool and store in airtight container.  I got about 28 candies.  It just depends on how big you make them.

Easy gift idea too!

I can't say all my recipes I will be trying will be this easy, but I will be filing it for the next holiday time.

I think I need to move to a healthy vegetable recipe next.  All this sugar. Oye.

Hubby came home from work feeling the best he's felt.  He offered to take our 16 year-old to her dentist cleaning for me.  Not sure if he was trying to get out of puppy duty or really helping me out with running around, ha ha!

Yesterday it snowed all day, but not one single peep of sunshine.  It was cloudy and showed continued signs of winter.  Today, there was enough snow for a school 2 hour delay.

Sounds yummy and gee, it'd be hard to make that recipe any easier. LOL
One sister was saying, when she read about the problem you were having with your neighbor, that our Dad would have lined the property boundaries with nail lined boards, so when someone rode close to them with wheeled vehicles, they'd get flattened tires, and he would have too. Yep!!! He had little tricks for taking care of pesky neighbors.
Praying everyone has a safe happy weekend.
God bless.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
