Love pecan pie, but tired of making the same old Thanksgiving dessert? Then bake these brown-sugar-pecan cupcakes with caramel frosting instead! Seriously, these cupcakes are the best dessert I've tasted in weeks.
Would You Eat This Tropical Fruit Chutney?
A couple weeks ago, at a buffet dinner, I came across this gross-looking condiment. The only ingredient I recognized was pecans.

Fast & Easy Dinner: Loaded Spinach Salad
Sometimes it's nice to have a satisfying salad for dinner.

Reader Recipe: Hummingbird Cake
Since a few of my friends have birthdays in February, I've been browsing all over the web in search of a birthday cake that fits my mood.

Reader Recipe: Pecan Cookies
With the new year in mind, I've made a string of resolutions, and one of them is to be more prepared for last-minute parties. That's why I'll be making this cookie dough, courtesy of Jenious. Each cookie is filled with the subtle flavor of toasted pecans, and since the cookies freeze well, they'll be ideal for constant entertaining.
Spread Holiday Cheer With a Bûche de Noël
I've been dreaming of classic Christmas desserts, so this holiday, I thought I'd bake a bûche de Noël. Rather than opting for excessive designs and detailed accessories, I made a modern cake roll that looked (and felt) effortless. My guests couldn't get enough of the moist, light mocha sponge cake, which was a nice contrast to the sweet and nutty German chocolate filling.
Celebrate Flavors of the Holiday With Sweet, Spicy Pecans
Maybe it's the "Christmas Song" ("chestnuts roasting on an open fire . . ."), but eating spiced nuts always gets me in the mindset of the holidays.
Thanksgiving Dessert That's Easy As (Pecan) Pie
Need a super-quick, delicious dessert for Thanksgiving? How about classic pecan pie! This no-fail recipe is especially great for those short on time or new to the kitchen.
Pumpkin Cake = Perfect Alternative to Pumpkin Pie
Last week I was asked to make a sweet contribution to BabySugar's baby shower. Since the shower was a surprise, I decided what kind of cake to make. Filled with Fall flavors, this pumpkin cake with pecan brittle and whipped cream-cheese frosting is to die for.
