Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.

PRALINES | PECAN CANDY
Happy Holidays!!!
In this video, I prepare what we used to call pecan candy, now called pecan pralines.
This candy ended up with a grainy sugar consistency because I started to cooking process too low and was not stirring until the sugar was completely dissolved.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved in the initial process for an awesome, creamy, rich candy.
Each condensed milk, butter, and 1 1/3 sugar, 4 cup pecan combination should render 13 patties of candy. When separating into patties, be sure to use a smaller spoon.
Give LOVE for Christmas!!!!
How to Make Pecan Pralines
We had heard rumors that Liberty County CFO Kim McGlothlin made the best pecan pralines in coastal Georgia, so we invited her to our kitchen to taste for ourselves.
Recipe:
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups sugar
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 tbs butter
1tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine all ingredients except pecans. Stir in a large, pot and then set over the heat on the stove on medium to medium high heat. Continue to stir ingredients until the mixture reaches the boiling point. Then take off the heat and continue to stir the mixture in the soft ball stage. Add pecans and continue to stir until the mixture has lost most of its gloss. Then spoon out the mixture in small portions onto wax paper and let cool.

Authentic Louisiana Pecan Pralines! My Grandmother's Recipe The “Big Easy” Version!
These are the real deal! They are little mounds of praline heaven! These are amazing as Christmas treats or to be honest, in our house they are a year-round treat!
2 cups of pure cane sugar OR 1 1/2 cups regular pure cane sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 stick of REAL butter NOT Margarine (if using UNsalted butter add in 1/4 teaspoon of salt)
1 12oz can of Evaporated Milk NOT sweetened condensed milk
2 cups pecans (I rough chopped half and left half whole)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Plastic wrap to cover the bowl while in the microwave
NOTE* I am using a 1000 watt microwave. If you are using a 700 watt microwave, you will most likely need to add some time.
Have a cookie sheet lined with parchment, wax paper or foil . Spray lightly with cooking spray to hold parchment paper in place. Set aside.
In a microwave safe bowl (the bowl MUST be large enough as the mixture WILL cook up before it cooks back down) place sugar, butter & milk. Stir the milk and sugar as shown. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Remove and stir now that the butter has had a chance to melt. Replace and microwave for 4 minutes. Remove and stir. Add in the vanilla extract and pecans. Stir well and microwave for 4 more minutes. Stir again. Microwave for approximately 3 more minutes. Remove and stir. Work quickly and drop by spoonfuls onto the parchment. The pralines should set up within 30-45 minutes. ENJOY!!!!
EASY FIX - The didn't set up right rescue:
NOTE* The weather CAN impact any candy making. If yours didn't set up solid, here is the no fail fix. Simply scrape them back off of the parchment paper. Place back into the bowl microwave and 2 minutes on high. Stir well and replace in microwave for 2 minutes longer. Stir well and QUICKLY lay out on parchment paper. They should definitely set up this time. I have been making these for well over 35 years and this didn't set up save has never failed me yet.
