you see any skins, just peel them off. we're going to add a little bit of olive oil. you want them all to lay flat on a sheet. you're going to only add half a can of spice right now. per can it takes about 40 minutes at 400

then once i pull these out of the oven i add the rest of the spice mixture. every can after the first one i usually add about 20 minutes more. if they look a little burnt, that's kind of what you're looking for. the biggest mistake is not toasting these long enough.

whitney if you have any questions on centsablehealth@far ewaystores.com.

it's been her fight for twenty years. something is wrong with our healthcare system and it needs to be fixed. then, it was about health reform and getting eight million kids covered. now, it's about stopping republicans from repealing obamacare, and taking on insurance companies to bring down drug prices. i'm not going to let any family be deprived of healthcare. i'm not going to let the republicans rip up obamacare and throw it away.

"if you met her she was like the girl next door you know? the sweet innocent kind. the kind that's always smiling, thats nice to you. you would never ever guess that that girl had ties to isis." the fbi officially declared this a terror investigation, but said it does not believe the couple had any direct ties to

terrorist network. "so far we have no indication that these killers are part of an organized larger group or form part of a cell." today at the couple's rented home, the media was allowed inside by the landlord after it was cleared by the fbi. media had no access to the garage, which had been converted into a bomb-making lab.

hillary clinton says part of her strategy is preventing terrorists from having access to guns in the u-s. a c-n-n poll six weeks ago showed donald trump's lead in the g-o-p race was down to just five points. but the latest poll gives him the biggest lead he or any candidate has seen this year. the cnn o-r-c poll shows trump is the favorite amongst 36-percent of republican voters. he has a 20-point lead over ted cruz in second place. ben carson slips to third ... followed by marco rubio. the drop-off to the next tier includes chris christie... who sits at four- percent. jeb bush and carly fiorina are tied for sixth place... followed by john kasich and mike huckabee at just two percent. the g-o-p front runner already has his name on buildings and

"during the week we struggle to get volunteers," said allison liska. the people you see ringing those bells are volunteers. the salvation army estimates they're around 100 volunteers short. ringing at 15 different locations. but more like 14 because don has a strong lock on his spot except for tuesdays. "we gotta do what we can while we're on the earth and then be proud cause we're going to get to go to the beautiful heaven," said donald baumgardner. a freak accident years ago, led to him having his right leg amputated in august. that nor the snow kept him from what he signed up to do. "give and love and cheerish other people and show them how much you care for them," said donald baumgardner. "that's what it's about." even adding his own holiday spice. "i've got 325 different

"first of all, all of us are mourning for the terrorist attack in san bernadino california."but his decision to hold a 2nd amendment rally at crossroads

"liberal dems think it is insensitive to celebrate our constitutional rights in the wake of a terrost attack."the iowa democratic party said as much saying quote: "that ted cruz finds it appropriate to hold an event at a shooting range just days after 14 people were killed in a mass shooting in california and a week after three people including an iraq war veteran were murdered in colorado, shows how blind he is to the need for a very deep, very detailed, and very thoughtful debate about the issue of gun rights and gun violence in america." senator cruz says stripping down gun rights is only harming the innocent... "the democrats seem confused, they don't understand the difference between bad guys and law abiding citizens."many in attendance believed it's the lack of areas supportive of gun rights that's leaving america vulnerable to mass shootings... if you take guns away from us, then we have less protection against

"i don't see them coming to a police department, i don't see them coming to a gun show do they?"and that calling off the rally would have instead catered to the terrorists...

"strict gun control laws are an abysmal failure."it's his firm stance on 2nd amendment rights that senator cruz says has washington and democrats on the run...
