Fall Simmer Pot Recipe

One way to keep your home smelling good this Thanksgiving (and Christmas) season is with a Simmer Pot. A simmer pot takes natural ingredients and warms them on the stove releasing a combination of scents into the air making your home smell warm and inviting to guests.

Hostess Tips and Tricks

Because I am a terrible host, I put together our Hosting Tips and Tricks post. You guys must know the struggle is real, because you guys have pinned this post like crazy! If you are hosting a holiday gathering this fall, I suggest you take on some of these tips and tricks. A Fall Simmer Pot would be an excellent way to make your home smell inviting even if the outdoors temperature is 80 degrees and there isn’t a sign of snow on the ground.

Save this Hosting Tips post to your Party, Thanksgiving and Christmas Pinterest Boards.

Friendsgiving

This year might be the first Thanksgiving, in my almost 40 years of life, we are not with family. In fact, I will spend a good chuck of it flying my girls back and forth from Florida to Virginia, only to not celebrate with them. I am not looking forward to it. This Thanksgiving is our first ever Friendsgiving – time with friends and giving thanks for the “family” we have 1,000 miles away from family by blood.

What is Friendsgiving?

Friendsgiving is not that old. It originated in 2009. It is a celebration of Thanksgiving among friends when you can’t be around family (or chose not to be) for the holidays.

We have the perfect post to get you started – Friendsgiving Thanksgiving Ideas with Friends. Share and Pin to your Thanksgiving Pinterest Board and grab ideas when you gather with friends!

This Fall Simmer Pot Recipe would be perfect for your stovetop if you are hosting!

Fall Simmer Pot Recipe Ingredients

The prep time for this simmer pot is only 5 minutes.

1 orange, cut into chunks
1 apple, cut into chunks
1 sprig rosemary
3 cinnamon sticks (This is a great price per stick!)
Water

Another suggestion is to keep the apple whole and press cloves into the apple. The cloves would replace the cinnamon sticks. Amazon also sells cinnamon essential oil and clove essential oil if you would prefer to add oils instead of the actual product. I think the product looks so beautiful so it would be something I would keep, but I wanted to give you the option.

You can use any pot to simmer that holds your ingredients but I fell in love with this discounted cooper simmer pot, isn’t it beautiful!?

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

Pecan-Crusted Fish Keto Recipe with Cajun Cream Sauce

October 5, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media 1 Comment

A buttery, pecan-crusted, Cajun fish keto recipe straight off the coast of the southern states. This keto-friendly fish recipe will quickly become a staple dinner entree for your family. Get ready to give your taste buds a party!

Pecan-Crusted Fish Keto Recipe

When I tell people I am from Florida, they often get a mixed impression. The first things that usually come up in conversation are Disney, the beach, and Miami. It’s funny, often people relate Miami or Orlando are the capital of Florida. Actually it is Tallahassee. While the beach was my second home, Tallahassee my my every day home. Just miles from the George line, Tallahassee was loaded with red clay and pine trees more than sand and palm trees. The coast was a short distance away and fresh fish was abundant. I grew up on fish and love it to this day, living far away from the state I call home.

Are you on a Keto Diet?

According to Healthline.com, a ketogenic diet (often termed keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. The reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.

With the reduction of carbs, Keto doesn’t have to feel like a sacrifice. This flavorful fish recipe is easy to make and provides a rush to you taste buds. Blending together the delicate flakes of Cod and the strong burst of Cajun seasoning, this recipe will be one of your Keto-friendly family staples.

Enjoy!

Pecan Crusted Fish Keto Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Net Carbs: 4 net carbs per serving

So many simple ingredients, you likely have many of these in your refrigerator or pantry. When selecting fish, we often go for something that is organic and not farm raised. Look for wild. It is my own personal preference. If cod is not available, look for another white fish like halibut or tilapia. Make sure you have a good Cajan seasoning on hand like Slap Ya Mama (no we don’t support this action, just the seasoning – wink!)

Pecan-Crusted Fish Ketogenic Recipe Ingredients:

For the Fish:

4 Pieces of Cod
1 Egg beaten
2 tbsp Heavy whipping cream
1 c Pecan flour (You can find this online, Wild Tree Farms is gluten-free, grain-free, and Paleo-friendly)
2 tbsp Butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Cajun seasoning to taste (we REALLY recommend Slap Ya Mama All Natural Cajun Seasoning)

For the Sauce:

1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (highly rated Bourbon Barrel Foods Handcrafted Worcestershire Sauce)
½ c Heavy whipping cream
½ Stick of butter
½ c Chopped green onions
Cajun seasoning to taste (we REALLY recommend Slap Ya Mama All Natural Cajun Seasoning)
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped pecans for garnish

Our recipe feeds four, feel free to multiply or divide as needed to create the perfect amount for your family!

Incredibly easy Witch Hat Halloween Appetizer for a Halloween party or an after school snack for the kids. Serve with spaghetti on a cool October night!

Witch Hat Halloween Appetizer

One of my first Halloween costumes was a witch. Anyone remember those 80’s costumes? Costumes made entirely out of plastic, often with a face cover that was in no way safe for trick or treating on a dark street. My Pinterest self cringes thinking back on that costume. I pretty sure my wig was lopsided the entire evening.

I’m not dressing up as a witch anymore, but I am perfecting a piece of the costume in my kitchen. Make these INCREDIBLY EASY witch hat Halloween appetizers. Make these for as a Halloween Food Craft for a party or as an after school snack for the kids.

Ingredients

1 can crescent roll dough
2 tablespoons butter, melted

8 sliced black olives
Marinara sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Next, unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles.
Place the triangles on an ungreased baking sheet ( I like using a silicon baking mat.) Brush the triangles with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley. Fold the straight end of each triangle over to resemble the brim of the witch hat.
While the hats are baking, cut the slice of cheese into eight thin strips.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until hats are golden brown.
Lastly, allow to cool slightly, then place a strip of cheese on each hat above the brim, trimming the cheese to fit the hat. Place an olive slice in the center of the cheese strip to resemble the buckle.The cheese will melt slightly to secure it in place.
Serve with marinara sauce for dipping (optional).

This Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe will become a Saturday morning family favorite. Save excess and freeze or and serve over ice cream for a breakfast turned dessert recipe.

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Saturday morning. Saturday morning is often very special for our family. It’s the traditional big breakfast Sunday where we make a ton to eat, often a sweet treat like French Toast, Crepes Pancakes or Cinnamon Rolls. While the purpose of this is family bonding, it has become a family tradition. Additionally, it is a bonus to my husband and I because we can be a little bit neglectful about lunch in the hustle and bustle of a Saturday.

A fall recipe that is quite tasty and adorably cute is our Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe. You can shape your french toast into adorable apple shapes or leave the shape as a slice of bread – we bet a child will have fun prepping the toast if you go with a cute cookie cutter shape. The recipe is tasty and leftovers can be used on top of ice cream as a Saturday evening dessert. The recipe is a breakfast win and a dinner win!.. and like I said above, it is a lunch win. We are often not home Saturday mid-day and don’t have to spend as much on lunch because of full bellies!

There are only a few simple ingredients in our fall french toast recipe. This recipe yields 4 servings. Multiple as needed.

Year-round Printable Scavenger Hunts for Kids (and youthful adults). Seasonal downloads for both individual players and larger group scavenger hunt ideas.

Printable Scavenger Hunts for Kids

Some of my most favorite memories are via scavenger hunts. First, it got me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to meet other people. Second, I love a good challenge and a good gift so I will work hard to be a winner. They are great ice breakers for large groups or fun ways to shower someone with love when creating an individual hunt.

What is a Scavenger Hunt?

Scavenger Hunt is an engaging game played by children (and adults alike). Organize the game in advance by creating a list of objects to find and clues to help the players locate the items. To play the game, divide the players into at least 2 teams, and give them the first clue.

What are the Scavenger Hunt Rules?

Scavenger hunts can be played individually or in groups (who finishes firsts). There are two types of hunts. Hunts can be consecutive where a team (individual) is given the first clue which leads to the second, third, and fourth… or hunts can be done using a checklist where the full list of “must dos” are provided at the beginning.

Individual Scavenger Hunts

Individual scavenger hunts are a great way to busy a child or give them individual gifts. At each stopping point, before the next clue is given, gift your child a piece of their larger present. You can do this on birthday or even collecting their Back to School Supplies. Who said back to school supplies are boring? To begin, supply the player with the first clue. The first clue will lead them to the second. The second will lead them to the third clue and so on until the scavenger hunt is over. You also can have a scavenger hunt checklist where the entire list must be completed before a prize is given.

Group Scavenger Hunts

Group scavenger hunts are perfect sleepovers, lock-ins, class parties, and more. Even adults can find their inner youth and can have fun challenging each other in outdoor venues likes parks and concerts, or perhaps at the mall or in a cityHUNT challenge around town.

Either supply your groups with clue #1 or provide them a list of things to get on a piece of paper. This list is their checklist and must be completed in order to declare a winner. A checklist Scavenger Hunt is typically easier for large groups.

Scavenger Hunt Prize Ideas

Base prize ideas on if you are having an individual or group winner(s). If you have a lot of people winning, have smaller prizes. If you are doing an individual hunt, you can make the prize larger.

Scavenger Hunt Prize Ideas include:

Cheap trophies (fill with candy)
A cheap medal
Candy Bars
Gift Cards
Carnival prize toys
Seasonal prizes based on the scavenger hunt theme.

Ingredients

5 hot dogs (Be sure to watch the carb count on the ones you choose)
10 slices of cheddar cheese
5 tbsp Monterey Jack shredded cheese
1 large jalapeno pepper finely chopped
wooden skewers

Instructions

Boil, grill or saute your hot dogs for several minutes to heat them well and cook them through.
Place each hot dog on a wooden skewer once cooled a bit.
Place a non-stick or well greased skillet over medium heat, and lay two slices of cheddar cheese down in the center of it.
Let the cheddar cheese melt completely until it begins to resemble a piece of lace. If you do not let the cheese melt completely before attempting to wrap it around the hot dog, it will simply slide right off.
Once the cheddar cheese is mostly melted, place a tablespoon of monterey jack cheese and a small sprinkling of jalapeno peppers down the center of it. Allow the cheese to bubble and melt for about 30 seconds longer.
Beginning at one end, place the hot dog on the edge of the cheese, and use a spatula with one hand to help wrap the cheese around the hot dog as you spin it on the skewer with the other hand. Hold for a few seconds to let it cool slightly, and then place it on a rack to finish cooling.
Repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining hot dogs.

Low Carb Keto Hot Dogs Directions:

A home-style side dish you can perfect at home. This Copycat Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese uses elbow macaroni, butter, garlic and a blend of cheddar and Parmesan Romano cheeses.

Copycat Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese

Oh man! Second to the chicken, one of the biggest gifts Chick-fil-A has given us is the Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese. I had the privilege of sampling Chick-fil-A’s Macaroni and Cheese at a private dinning when this yummy goodness hit the market. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical before arrival (there isn’t much that can pull me away from Chick-fil-A Waffle Fries) but you guys, this side decision is going to be a hard one. It was incredibly tasty and reminded me of my own Home-Style Macaroni and Cheese recipe.

Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese Ingredients

While we can’t perfect anything on the Chick-fil-A menu, we sure do hard work trying. This is the closest we got to perfecting the Copycat Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese recipe in our home.

Large elbow noodles
2 Cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 Cup Parmesan Romano cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 Tablespoons butter
Garlic powder
Salt and pepper
9 x 13” pan

Protein Mac and Cheese

Did you know? As a mom I am always trying to sneak protein in my kids meals. Using cheese is such a great way to hide added protein. The kids never know. Barilla makes a ProteinPlus Multigrain Pasta perfect for this recipe. Stock up because you might never use another type of noodle again!
