There’s a pecan tree in our backyard and it is the best thing ever. They are really good fresh, much tastier than walnuts, and apparently they originated in Texas so it feels fitting having one in the yard. Depending on how windy it is, the amount of pecans I find on the ground each morning can range between 20 to 331. We have more pecans then we know what to do with now, but they’re at least good for you, lots of antioxidants and may help lower cholesterol. So far we’ve made Pecan Pie, Pecan Muffins, Pecan Waffles, Pecan Pancakes, Pecan Apple Pie, and have had them in a bunch of savory dishes and salads as well.http://davidandnicole.ca/2008/10/nuts-about-pecans Less
