Candied and Spiced Pecans

+ a pet photo shoot

Happy Thursday! You guys get lucky today because I’m going to chat as little as possible. Instead, I’m going to bombard you with photos — some photos of these snackies!, but lots and lots of photos of my children.

I made this Cranberry Sauce Cream Cheese Dip a few days ago and topped it with simple, 5-minute candied pecans. And that got me thinking. Pecans deserve their own place on the appetizer table and thus, their own blog post. What’s a holiday season without nuts? Why is that? Are nuts seasonal? Or did Christopher Columbus discover them when he came to America? (Kidding…!) But really, there must be a reason and I’m going to do some research and figure it all out… on another night.

Aunt Janet’s Cinnamon Rolls

I’m literally pulling this pan out of the oven as I watch snow come down outside.

I’m pulling cinnamon rolls out of the oven and I’m simmering a spicy posole for tonight’s supper. It’s THE ONLY way to get through a cold, snowy night. It makes me feel all warm and cozy on the inside.

Now I know these Cinnamon Rolls are the ‘ish because I already did a test run this weekend. While it was 20 degrees out on Sunday morning, I wore my *most flattering* sweatpants and made someone a special Valentine’s Day breakfast. ♥ ♥ ♥ (←All those hearts are for the cinnamon rolls…)
