12 Days of Christmas – Pecan Confectioners

By Leave a Comment

Pecan

I was dating someone from the south who taught me a lot about southern traditional dishes and the simplicity of southern dining.  He had many favorite recipes like my chicken spaghetti bake (my number one searched recipe from my blog and super yummy) but his most favorite recipe was pecan confectioners.  He didn’t have the recipe so it became the running joke that they even existed as I couldn’t find a recipe for them on the internet.  I just figured the cookie or nut was just a recipe that the southerns had from generations prior or they are called something else and one day maybe I’d be lucky enough to try one.

Happy Birthday…Graham Cracker Cake

By Leave a Comment

I just purchased this new book called “Sweets“, it was on Amazon with over 67 customers rating it 5 stars.  It’s a cookbook for desserts with the recipes originating from the south.  I’m not as familiar with “soul food” or foods from the south but I’m intrigued to learn it as I have found that everything from the south is truly amazing.

If you are looking for a non traditional birthday cake, that is sweet and unique…this is your cake!  I would recommend doing the “Cream Cheese Glaze” 1 1/2 times as I felt that there was not enough for the sides.  I am posting the recipe as it is written in the book as I followed this recipe as is.

I have a few friends with birthdays today and I wanted to post this for them!
