My Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes
Time is just moving right along and my kids startled me a little when they mentioned their Thanksgiving break is right around the corner! Right around the corner? How did that happen?!
Thanksgiving is almost here so that means I need to start grocery shopping and getting the house ready for guests! It also means getting my favorite Thanksgiving recipes ready!
Every year we host my husband’s family for the big feast. They are all local so we don’t have anyone staying with us and everyone brings food so I don’t make the entire meal. In that regard, it’s about as low-stress as it can get for the host which is so nice.
Over the years I have made the turkey several ways. I have just made a breast (when not cooking for a crowd), I have brined the entire bird, I have not brined it and made it my mother’s way and last year, I tried a method I learned from the TV show, The Chew. I didn’t follow it to the letter (I modified it slightly) and it was delicious! I blogged about it here.

Pecan Pie Bars to DIE For {I’m Not Kidding!}
A few weeks ago I blogged about all the yummy pecan-related recipes I found while surfing the web (since my pecan tree is blessing us in abundance this year). I showed you this pecan pie bar recipe that I wanted to try, but when I went to print it out and make it, the link wasn’t working.
I guess it was fate (no offense to the recipe I originally linked to because I haven’t actually tried it yet, but it looks perfectly delicious). Instead of making that one, I found THIS recipe and made it instead.
Cue angels singing! These pecan pie bars are TO DIE FOR!
These are to die for! Seriously! I have made two pans of them in the last two weeks. And, no, I haven’t eaten them all myself (although I really, really could have).
Even if you are not a big nut/pecan eater you really, truly should try this recipe. It is pure, rich buttery goodness and I really can’t say enough about it. (My mouth is actually watering thinking about them!)
I found the recipe at Just a Taste — a fantastic food blog that you must check out if you like to cook and bake. The author, Kelly, knows her way around the kitchen. A fact I would like to proclaim about myself one day. And, thanks to her, I can now say with confidence that I know how to make a kick-bootay pecan pie bar. And so can you if you try this recipe.
You’re welcome.
***UPDATE: I just found this awesome US – UK baking conversion information at the wonderful blog “Sweet 2 Eat.” I will be posting this link on my Recipes page as well so, hopefully, my UK readers can try some of my recipes now!

Fall Favorites Friday {Yummy and Fun Ideas for Using Pecans}
Sometimes you just feel like a nut and sometimes you don’t. Today, I feel like a nut! (I know, I’m a dork!)
But, honestly, I’ve been thinking a lot about nuts lately — particularly, pecans and what I can make with the bumper crop we have this year.
Here are several yummy and fun ideas for using pecans this fall:
(Warning: this post contains lots of fat and calories)
Pecan Pie — this is a given, right? This is by far my favorite thing to make with pecans. I have a killer recipe that I will share in another post soon — promise!!

Pralines — a southern favorite. My dad is coming to town next week and I’m thinking of making some of these for him — he loves them!

Pecan bars — I saw this recipe awhile back and have been dying to try it. It looks fabulous!

Pecan muffins — I bought a pecan muffin baking mix from a craft show once and it was fantastic. I was thrilled when I found this from-scratch recipe online.

Glazed pecans — there are a lot of ways to glaze pecans; maple glazed, Texas glazed, sugar and spiced, the list goes on. All I can say is YUM! They would taste great topping just about anything — even a salad.

Pecan Pie Brownies — I ran across this recipe when browsing for ideas…I think they’re calling my name!!

Carmel Pecan Sundaes — Carmel and pecans go together like peanut butter and jelly. Look at this fabulous-ness! They even used butter pecan ice cream! For more details on this one, click here.

Now I’m hungry — for dessert!
One last idea, non-food related…
Make a Wreath — I got really excited when I thought of this idea (and then found this nut wreath on MarthaStewart.com). However, I realized I have nowhere to put a pecan wreath right now (plus, my husband would probably be disappointed that I used unshelled nuts for non-eating purposes). Maybe next year! I think it would be so cute!

By the way, did you know that you can freeze shelled pecans so they don’t go rancid? (I didn’t know that until recently.) And, if you’re like me and have a lot of unshelled nuts, you can find people who can shell them for you. I’m going to look into this more seriously if we get as many nuts as I think we will.
If anyone has any other great pecan ideas I’d love to hear them! Happy Friday y’all!
