Pecan-Crusted Trout
The trout was so fresh and beautiful at the seafood counter today that I couldn’t resist, even without a plan for how to prepare it. Pan sautéed trout is what first came to mind. I have a weakness for this wonderfully mild fish, especially when it’s sautéed in butter. To kick it up I decided on Pecan-Crusted Trout, which fit right in with our low-carb eating.

Pecan Salmon Caesar Salad
Pecan Salmon Caesar Salad. This is such a wonderful weeknight meal. Simple fresh ingredients that come together with ease. Glorious maple pecan encrusted salmon over a bed of crisp romaine with hard boiled eggs, fresh tomatoes, homemade croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese. As delicious as you could find in a restaurant, enjoyed in the comfort of home.

Praline Banana Nut Muffins {Share the Love}
I delivered Praline Banana Nut Muffins to my office yesterday morning. It’s how I {Share the Love} with 35 of my favorite people. Here’s how they show me the love. To quote a co-worker “I felt like I was eating a muffin from some gourmet bakery when I had yours. It was AMAZING!!! Totally worth the sweet cheat. Thank you for sharing!!!” Now that motivates me and makes me smile.

Toothacher Bars {My most treasured family recipe}
Toothacher Bars. The name would indicate overly sweet and decadent, however these bars are so much more than that. Chocolate, caramel, and pecans make them decadent yes, but an oatmeal crumble base and topping is what makes them spectacular!!

Turtle Shortbread Cookies {Share the Love}
This week my office is doing a little holiday baking for our wonderful loyal customers. There’s something special about receiving a gift of home-baked goodness….so we shall Share the Love. I chose this recipe for Turtle Shortbread Cookies from bettycrocker.com because I have a soft spot for shortbread. For as many years as I can remember there have been Walkers Shortbread Cookies in my Christmas Stocking. I love them. Worship them actually.

Chocolate Truffles {Adventures in Chocolate}
Of all our posts to Lemony Thyme or Facebook….Adventures in Chocolate get the most attention. After several weeks of posting crazy decadent desserts I had a friend request something non-dairy (but I got the feeling a fresh fruit parfait wasn’t what she was envisioning). So I present you with Chocolate Truffles, easily converted to non-dairy.

Sage-Pecan Pesto Encrusted Turkey Tenderloin
When I first made Sage-Pecan Pesto Encrusted Turkey Tenderloin and posted a picture in my What’s for Dinner album, I got immediate requests for the recipe. I love pesto. It’s so versatile and easy going. Never complains when you substitute sage for basil, pecans for pine nuts, aged cheddar for Parmesan. And turkey tenderloin is the perfect delivery vehicle (pork tenderloin would be delish too). So good and so moist!

Sugared Pecans
Spinach Salad is the inspiration. Snacking on Sugared Pecans isn’t all bad either. We just need this recipe around as a go-to.
