How to: Acorn Goodies

I made these acorn treats for my sorority's retreat this weekend.  They are very fall festive as well as Alpha Gamma Delta appropriate.  (our mascot is the squirrel)

These would also be an adorable edible centerpiece for fall parties, Thanksgiving, or Halloween!  They are inexpensive and super easy to make! 

What you will need:

- mini vanilla cookies

- hershey kisses

- peanut butter chips

- microwave safe bowl

- plastic fork

1.  unwrap the hershey kisses from the foil

2.  place about 1/3 cup peanut butter chips in bowl

3.  microwave in 10 second intervals, stirring each time

assembly:

4.  using the knife, smear peanut butter on the flat part of the kiss and press on a cookie (flat side)

5.  let cool sitting cookie side down

6.  place a small dab of peanut butter on the top of the cookie and press on a chip

VIOLA! You have yourself adorable acorn sweets!

How To: Sesame Snow Peas

Being a bust college student, it is hard to eat healthy, quick snacks.  Sesame snow peas are one of my favorite healthy snacks to make, and it is super cheap!  It takes a few ingredients and about 10 minutes to make.  

All you need is:

Soy Sauce

Sesame Oil

Sesame Seeds

Garlic salt or powder

Snow Peas

Coconut oil or Olive oil

* I do not use measurements.  I eyeball it and add to taste *

1.  In a saute pan on medium heat, add a splash of coconut oil, 2 spoonfuls of sesame oil, and the snowpeas.  

2.  Let cook for about 5 mins, occasionally stirring and flipping the mixture. 

3.  Add sesame seeds and garlic powder (as much as you want to taste)

4.  Continue cooking until the peas begin to look see through or until they are less crunchy and more fluid.

5.  Add soy sauce to taste and serve!
