Toasted Pecan Bars are the ONLY Bar you need…
Toasted Pecan Pie Bars are seriously the ONLY bars you ever need to make. They are loaded with TONS of toasted pecans, a super gooey center and shortbread type crust that will make you smile. Trust me these need to be on your Holiday dessert table. Toasting is KEY! For me the key to these toasted pecan bars is toasting the pecans. There is just something so delicious about a toasted nut, in particular pecans. I love the extra depth of flavor it brings to a dish, especially when they are the star of the show. I toast mine on the stovetop…if you wanted to toast them in the oven…

KETO Double Chocolate Cookies
I have a few weaknesses in my world. I find it hard to pass up a good glass of rose on a warm summer day, I find it very hard to say no to fishing and I find it near impossible to say no to chocolate. Since starting my KETO lifestyle I have had to become very creative with my chocolate cravings, and these cookies are a staple for me. Chocolate, please These cookies are loaded with chocolate yumminess. They have cocoa powder and dark chocolate, lots of dark chocolate. For 20 cookies you use 3 oz of dark chocolate… in other words that is a WHOLE chocolate bar. …

a little snowball fun
No matter where you live you can have snowball fun…even with no snow. Growing up in Southeast Texas it is rare (like never) that we have enough snow to make a snowball…so this year I decided to make my own snowballs…COOKIES that is. These cookies have been a favorite of my mom’s for years but I had never made them until just recently. I was getting ready for my annual gift baskets and I knew I wanted a cookie that light & buttery with nuts and these immediately came to mind. To make them perfect I decided to search through some of my grandmother’s old cookbooks and came across…

The first layer is a delicious graham cracker crust, it is buttery and a little crunchy. Next there is a cheesecake layer that is light with the added whipped cream but still very rich. Next comes the pumpkin layer that is a wonderful pudding like layer loaded…

a little something sweet for (almost) everyone
A sweet potato casserole is a MUST HAVE on all of our Holiday tables. There is just something so wonderful about the rich, creamy and fluffy casserole that makes the Holiday’s something super special. In the past most of our casseroles have just had a brown sugar crumb topping because some of my family likes marshmallows and some like pecans and some like both and even a few that don’t like any so it was just easier to keep it minimal…well this year I decided to try and make (almost) everyone happy. I made a traditional sweet potato casserole loaded with brown sugar, butter, half & half and then topped with…

Dessert made easy (as pecan pie)
** Making pie can be so intimidating but with these bars are the best of a favorite pie without all the pie crust and intimation factor…love desserts like this!! Growing up my sweet MeeMaw made the best pecan pie. The crust was flaky and buttery while the filling was sweet and gooey…the only problem was I could not stand the pecans. Being the best MeeMaw in the world she started making us kids a pecan pie without the pecans each time she would make a normal pecan pie. It was so good and so perfect without those pesky pecans messing everything up. Well as I grew up I started to…
