Brown Sugar-Pecan Shortbread

I love shortbread! The soft, buttery goodness that just melts in your mouth. Last Christmas, my sister gave me David Lebovitz's Ready for Dessert cook book. As I flicked through the pages salivating at all the recipes before me, I came across one for brown sugar-pecan shortbread. YUM! I had to make this. What I love about David's recipes is that they are always very simple such as the one for Coconut Macaroons and the result is pure deliciousness! Be sure to check out his website for many more amazing recipes. Mi xo

Nigella's Pecan-Plus Pie

My friend Miss T had a craving for pecan pie and so sent this recipe my way Nigella's Pecan-Plus Pie. Now, I have never made pecan pie before although do love eating it so figured that must count for something. This was really easy to make and tasted absolutely delicious, especially teamed up with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Be warned, it is super-filling so go easy on the portion sizes! Mi xo
