Happy National Pecan Day!! I have to be honest, I love the national day stuff! I think it’s a fun way to learn about something or try a new recipe.
For instance, did you know that Pecans aren’t actually nuts? (I didn’t!) According to Wikipedia the Pecan is technically a Drupe! A Drupe is a fruit with a single stone or pit, surrounded by a husk.
I didn’t used to like Pecans, but as I grew up I actually really enjoy them now. I use them in all sorts of things, but mostly oatmeal or granola.
From breakfast to dinner, desserts and snacks, here are SEVEN pecan recipes you will want to try today!
Make sure you stop by the original blog post if you plan on pinning them for later use!
- White Chocolate Pecan Cookies –
- Go Nutty Green Smoothie –
- Honey Pecan Crusted Chicken –
- Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats –
- Butterscotch Pecan Butter –
- Pecan Paprika Talapia on Bacon Brussel Sprouts –
- Kid-Friendly Nutty Granola –
So what do you say? Are you going to give this Drupe disguised as a nut a try for National Pecan Day? I think that Tilapia recipe and cookies will be on my menu plan for tonight for sure!
