Recipes From Around the Blogosphere
Pecan Store December 28th, 2009
Hope you’re having a great holiday season. As you know I love cooking with pecans and have recently posted recipes that I tried and really enjoyed. Today, I am posting some great ideas of recipes from fellow bloggers who have made all different dishes with Green Valley Pecans.
Dessert is my favorite, and I found two great dessert recipes! The first recipe is from Meet Me in the Kitchen blogger Mary Ann and is a pumpkin cake with whipped cream. The pictures of the cake look wonderful.
Another dessert recipe that I cannot wait to try is pecan squares posted by Barbara on Baking with Barbara. The way she describes the pecan squares makes me feel like I can taste there sweet, rich caramel-covered pecans and truly makes my mouth water. It looks like a great recipe to use for holiday baking.
During the holidays, snacking is my weakness and I am always looking for a new snack to try. I found this recipe for granola on Baking and Boys by Katrina. The mixture of pecans, nectar, applesauce and honey looks like a great mixture of flavors. It would be a great snack whether you mix it with yogurt or just grab a few handfuls at a time.
Who could resist a warm muffin and a hot cup of coffee on a cold winter morning? I know I couldn’t! The blueberry crumb cake from Shari on the Whisk blog is the next recipe I am going to make since it has been quite chilly in the morning.
The last recipe I would like to call attention to today is a mandarin orange and pecan spinach salad. It is a great recipe if you are looking to get away from all of the heavy holiday meals or just to use as a great starter salad for dinner. Either way it sounds delicious.
