Stir together warm water and sugar in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

This is just like spicy chicken wings, only less work. Drumsticks cook up nicely in the slow cooker! A quick meal that is super easy and oh so yummy! For crispier chicken, bake in a 400-degree F oven for the final 30 minutes.
Little Nut Cups
I learned this recipe from a childhood friend whose mother made these for family parties and get-togethers. They are a great Christmas or special occasion cookie. My Mother makes hers with walnuts, I prefer pecans for a mini pecan pie taste.
