This is the last of the edible gifts I made during the holidays. I had these as takeaways after the Christmas Eve dinner we hosted at my house. I made two batches after thinking the first didn’t have the kick of spice that I wanted it to. After adding 3 pinches of cayenne to the second…

Peach Pecan Muffins
With a few more peaches left, I love looking for new recipes to try. Here is an easy one to try. I substituted some white whole wheat flour for some of the all-purpose flour to make them a little heartier. I liked them warm, but I bet they taste great at room temperature as well….
Snack Attack: Cheddar Pecan Crisps
Okay, so I’m back to nuts! Sorry, at least this snack is savory! Obviously I love pecans. I’m sure these crackers can be made without them though. They turned out to be nice and crisp as they were described. The taste reminded me of a cheese straw, which I haven’t had in years. Cheddar Pecan…
Snack Attack: Spicy Glazed Nut Mix
Yes, more nuts. I promise that the snacks I feature this week do not all have nuts in them. I have been on the search for a trail mix recipe that is similar to one I love from Cost Plus World Market. It is sweet and spicy and includes a variety of nuts, sesame sticks,…
Snack Attack: Rum Glazed Spiced Pecans
My definition of a snack is a finger food that you can eaten while on the go. With that being said, I love snacks! I keep them in my desk at work to keep me out of the snack machine. Since it is summer time and traveling is about to commence, I decided to have…
SMS Rewind: Pecan Shortbread Cookies
My apologies to Lorelei of Mermaid Sweets who is hosting this week’s Sweet Melissa Sunday and chose Sweet Potato Bread with Cinnamon Rum Orange Glaze. It does sound great, but since I made these muffins not too long ago, I decided to postpone this yummy sounding bread. Instead I backed up a couple of weeks…
Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies
I’ve been a little lax with my blogging. I was preparing for our Christmas party that went great last week and I will be sharing the many recipes that I decided to cook up for the event. First, I have one more cookie recipe I want to share. I have made a few chocolate chip…
Sweet & Spicy Pecans
Here’s a break from the cookies: sweet and spicy pecans (check out the new Pecan label I added since I use them so much is cooking/baking). This is a recipe that I received from my “Recipe to a Good Marriage” bridal shower that my co-workers threw me. This one is especially important to me because…
Fuji Apple Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Here is the last new cake I prepared for my family’s Thanksgiving dinner! I spotted this in the October 2009 issue of Bon Appetit knowing that I would add it to my “must bake” list for the holiday. Unfortunately, this is one more cake I did not taste because it was saved for the Friday…
Happy National Bundt Day!
Did you know that today is National Bundt Day? You didn’t? Well, considered yourself in the know. To commemorate this day, The Food Librarian challenged herself to bake 30 bundts in 30 days. She may some great bundts so make sure you check out her blog to get some ideas for your holidays feasts. I…
