Pecan Pie Shortbread Cookies

Pecan Pie Shortbread Cookies | Your favorite cookie topped with a sweet pecan filling

Happy Saturday, everyone! Erica from The Crumby Cupcake, stopping by with a tasty treat! Here we are – Thanksgiving week! I can hardly believe how quickly the last month has gone by! I feel like I was just seeing Halloween candy displays everywhere, and suddenly it’s nothing but red & green. Luckily, I love the holidays, and I’ve been baking up a storm in preparation.

These delicious 3-ingredient shortbread cookies are a favorite cookbook classic of mine, and when I topped them with some leftover pecan pie filling, these magical Pecan Pie Shortbread Cookies were born! [Read more…]

Sweet Potato Pancakes

Sweet Potato Pancakes // Erin Skinner from The Speckled Palate for My Cooking Spot

 

I haven’t always been a sweet potato fan, and thinking about that now makes me a little sad because sweet potatoes are awesome and oh-so-versatile.

Now, I’m a huge proponent of breakfast, and when I was training for a marathon this spring, I started experimenting with foods to eat before and after long runs, including foods to eat the day before these behemoth workouts. (Because I quickly learned, if you’re running 16, 18, 20 miles? One meal the night before ain’t gonna cut it and give you all the goodness you need to make it through!)

All right, I am going to bring it up: New Years Resolutions.  There I said it.  I’ll let it sit for a few moments…. Okay now that we got the awkward part out of the way let’s get down to it.  I know you want to ignore them and just give up but come on! Let’s dust them off and see what our batting average is this April!  I have more than a few that I am still pretty far away from, but one that I have been really enjoying is the challenge of eating breakfast.   Now I used to live in Manhattan and breakfast was a cup of coffee (if I was lucky) and for a really special day I would have a yogurt.   But this year my health is of the essence which makes getting a healthy and protein/veggie rich start to my day even more imperative.

Wanting to get a good start to your day with breakfast is all well-and-good but what about the time! This is something I battle with on the daily.  I have so much to get done in the morning before I jet to the office.  So lately, I have been wracking my brain to think of grain free, quick, delicious breakfast ideas.  Because, let me tell you, if it isn’t tasty, it really doesn’t matter how healthy or quick it is.
