dish into the first Mr Linky box and then paste the url for your post into the
second one.
I'll
be pinning the dishes to this Pinboard. If you pop over to it you will be able to see
the collection at a glance and choose which ones you want to visit.
Happy
Linking.
I was going to give my almond pound cake, but one ingredient is not available world-wide as I found out from some readers--the almond pastry filling, but these are my FAVORITE cookies and a complete clone of Mrs Fields'!

ReplyDeleteCarole,
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing a soup recipe here because the peanut garnish really makes the dish (all the gals at work agreed). I've also got some sugarless muffins (just the natural sweetness of bananas and dates) and one of my favorite cookies--Hello Dolly bars. Thanks!
A recipe for walnuts that works equally well with almonds! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole, here is my gluten-free, low carb almond pancakes.
ReplyDeleteHazelnuts are one of my favourites and combined with the hazelnut oil dressing they make this couscous salad special.

ReplyDeleteHope you had a very happy Christmas - and here's to a wonderful new year! I brought you all kinds of interesting nuttiness, from roasted meats to baking. :)
ReplyDeleteI posted a couple of main dishes that feature nuts. I also had to grow out of hating nuts, and I'm glad I did.
ReplyDeleteOh goody, so many nut recipes. I posted a few of my own as well. Thanks for hosting this Carole, and the Pinterest link is the best. I love to see how the dishes look, or how they should look?
ReplyDeleteI adore nuts. I'm loving the look of all of these sweet and savory recipes. Yum. Happy New Year Carole!

I cook with nuts as often as possible. Especially pecans. Love this theme, Carole. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI shared three salads I've made over the past year. While I love nuts, I tend not to cook with them or eat them very often -- think I fell into the whole "nuts are fatty and fat is bad" trap. Trying to add them back in as they are quite healthy.
