I use these 1 pound mini loaf pans not only during the holidays, but throughout the year for gifts and “just the right size” for sharing at the dining table with a few guests. Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/2Z3AAGe
OMG! Coffee and pecans together! Two of my basic food groups. Cut me a slice and pour a cup of coffee, because I’m on my way over. This looks so yummy!
I have a bit in the freezer just for when we can get together – soon I hope!
Oh yes, I agree! I have to visit here sooner than later! They were on my radio station with Dr. Marilyn Scott’s Healthy Living w/Marilyn and I had to check out the website!
Hi RaeJ – thanks so much for commenting on blog post! Please come and see us!
My mom loves coffee, so she would love this. Since Jim roasts his own coffee, do you use that instead of instant? It would allow for interesting but subtle flavor variations.
I did use the instant coffee this time. I would have to make espresso to have a strong enough coffee, but I can try this the next time. Thanks for commenting!
