I stopped in Winn-Dixie this week while I was out running errands.  The past couple weeks when I have gone in a coupon prints out of their catalina machine for $10  off a $50 purchase only good for that weekend.  So, I take it and use it at Publix.  It is a win win!

ANYWAY,  I went in to Winn-Dixie  to grab some soy milk and a couple other items, and I found that 1 lb bags of Pecans were BOGO!  That was amazing to me because they are so expensive to bake with during the holidays!  So I stocked up!  I love baking!  In case you can’t tell!  I believe I would be as big as a house if I didn’t give some of it….ok…..most of it away.  Sorry neighbors!!

Well, one of our favorites at my house are these Pecan Pie Bars.  They are soooo yummy.   This has got to be the absolute best recipe in the world for these.

Pssst….don’t tell anybody….but…..they are even better if you melt caramel and drizzle it over the top!

I am not sure that it is waist friendly, but I am willing to excersise a little longer to make up for it! Check them out!
