November has arrived…let the holiday season commence. Or at least that’s how my brain has shifted into thinking recently, my husband on the other hand, is 100% focused on harvest still and the thought of Thanksgivng or Christmas will not creep into his mind until the combine is parked for the season.
With my mind dreaming of snuggling up by the fireplace with the Christmas tree lights on, I also start to think about the yummy treats that go along with the holidays. These cinnamon sugar pecans are a recipe that comes to mind with the holidays. It is also one that will be made multiple times at my house over the next few months. (And even into summer as these would pair nicely topped on a fresh green summer salad). Even though my husband is not thinking of the holidays, he sure doesn’t mind some of these delicious pecans in his cooler…a win-win for us both! 🙂
