These roasted pecans taste just like they do at the fair. My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. Even though they use big roasters at fairs, these turn out just as great.

Awesome Red Wine Pot Roast
I call this awesome red wine pot roast recipe my "famous Seamus" pot roast because my tiny Siamese cat, Seamus, sat in the kitchen the entire time this was cooking. I've been making this recipe for 40+ years, and I just throw the ingredients together; it's very forgiving. My son-in-law also says it's the best thing he ever ate. When boys hang around the kitchen, it can't be bad.
Pizza Buns
The elementary school I attended back in the 1950s used to make these, and were a favorite of most everyone. My wife and I spent a lot of time trying to recreate these when we were first married. Our kids (now in their 30s) still request these when they come to visit. We use canned pizza sauce but spice it up. Leftovers are easily reheated in the toaster oven.
Cinnamon Roll Cookies
These cinnamon roll cookies are reminiscent of a classic cinnamon roll with cream cheese icing - irresistable!
