Pecan Chewies
What's expiring this week? Pecans and self-rising flour. What can you do with those ingredients? Pecan blondies! Don't make these if you're trying to lose weight. The brown sugar/pecan combination is ADDICTING! It was hard not to eat a half a pan in one night. I will definitely be keeping this one in my recipe box to bring to a party. Your guests will thank you-or not if they eat too many. Haha.

Pecan Pear Muffins
My mother-in-law had ordered a beautiful fruit basket that included a few pears. They ripen fast, so I decided to make some pear muffins. This is the first of 3 that I would like to try. The other 2 are Honey Pear and Ginger Pear muffins. Maybe later this year, I'll buy some more pears and give them a try. These pears were very sweet, so I'm thinking I will add a granny smith apple to give it some tang. Otherwise, they turned out well.

Chocolate Snowballs (Christmas Cookie Countdown 2018 #3)
The title is a little mis-leading. I was expecting cocoa snowballs, but they were more like powdered pecan sandies with mini chocolate chips in the dough. Aside from the title, even the hubby loved them--he's not big on sandies and shortbreads. The key to powdered covered cookies is to let them cool off completely before rolling.

Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars
So now that the weather is warming up and cooperating, my blog time is significantly reduced. I made this last week, but it's definitely a keeper--super yummy! I didn't have enough heath to sprinkle on top so I added butterscotch chips. Oh my---"Crack Bars"! The shortbread bottom, sweetened condensed milk drizzle and topping definitely brought my clean eating to shame. Since the hubby loves heath, caramel and butterscotch, I have a feeling I will be making this one again. :)

German Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is now my top favorite cookie. They're technically called Coconut Pecan cookies, but the frosting is the same for German Chocolate cake, so I've renamed them. They also could go by the alias "crack cookies"-sinfully delicious. If you enjoy baking cookies, this one is a MUST on your list. :)

Pecan Meltaways Recipe
I call these "Pecan Melt-in-your-Mouth" cookies. This is part of Taste of Home's "Countdown to Christmas Cookie" set and they are ah-mazing. One thing I've learned about cookies dipped in powdered sugar--it's imperative that you let them cool to room temperature. Also, these cookies don't taste quite right without the powdered sugar. They go from ehh' to wow! Super easy recipe, only makes a couple dozen, but nice for our small family.

Thanksgiving Menu 2016
Thanksgiving morning started with welcoming 2 rescue donkeys to our 4 legged family. Then our meal was planned and enjoyed by the members of Taste of Home; my selections were based on the requests of the boys. I really like their recipe box and shopping list feature. It makes it easy to get what you need from the grocery store and pull up all the recipes at once. The only exception were the 2 pies from my "Baking at High Altitude" cookbook, Noble Pig's Dill Pickle Dip and Rachael Ray's White Cheddar Mac and Cheese. As have many in the past, this was a truly blessed year.
