Happy May, friends! Isn’t it crazy that we are already starting the fifth month of the year? The start of May means one thing. Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner! I always like to share a Mexican-themed food post for the holiday and this year I went the sweet route with these Cinco de May sugar cookies! These sugar cookies are the very best and with the fun frosting colors and decorations, you will be ready to party on Saturday.
Last spring, Richard and I went on a “no carb” diet for a few weeks. I can honestly say that it was the most awful thing ever! I love all kinds of carbs and two weeks without them was super difficult for me. However, I did feel better (and lost weight). For me, cutting carbs out of my diet was a great way to detox. Dinner ideas were pretty easy, but no carb breakfast items (besides eggs) was challenging. I stumbled upon a no flour banana muffin recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a shot. After a few ingredient changes, these healthy peanut butter and banana muffins have become a go-to in both our house and my parent’s for the past year.
When it comes to fall desserts, pecan pie takes the cake (and pie). Pecan pie is delicious anytime of the year, but there is something special about enjoying a slice around Thanksgiving and Christmas. In the spirit of the holidays, I wanted to come up with a way to enjoy this favorite pie in a different way. Enter the most delicious pecan pie cookies.
