Friday Foodie Fix – Pecans

Friday Foodie Fix - Pecans

Friday Foodie Fix

This week’s Secret Ingredient for Friday Foodie Fix is Pecans!  I am a big fan of nuts, after all I am one.  Pecans are a good source of protein, unsaturated fat and omega-6 fatty acids.  Pecans contain more than 19 vitamins and minerals – including vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, several B vitamins and zinc.  They have a rich buttery flavor and are the star ingredient in a Pecan Pie.  Pecan trees are used for the nuts, the wood and can live over three hundred years.  They are also the state tree of Texas.

Friday Foodie Fix - Pecans What I like most about pecans is the taste.  I keep a bag in my refrigerator and love this time of year when I can buy bags of them in the shells.  I love to sit and crack nuts for a snack.  It keeps me from eating too many.  I like to use pecans in salads, my Just 4 Nut Butter My Way and Fall Truffles which I will share next week for our Gluten Free Dessert Progressive Dinner Party.

I hope you have some great Pecan recipes to share with us.  I’d love to see a gluten and dairy free pecan pie and glazed pecans.

If this is your first time sharing a recipe please read the rules on our Friday Foodie Fix page.

I can’t wait to see your recipes!!!!

Next week’s Secret Ingredient is ………………………………Chocolate!
