Buttery Pecan Cookies - Au Naturale!

I think you're going to LOVE these cookies!  They taste like "the Holidays". And hey, they taste great year-round!  One of my fondest memories is a big family summer vacation where all my siblings and their families got together with my parents in some cottages in northern Michigan.  Each family hosted a themed party every night, and my parent's night was "Christmas in July". My dad dressed up like Santa Claus, my mom was his helper elf, and we all got fantastic presents.

If it is the holiday time, I wish you all a very blessed, and holy Christmas season!  At our house, we celebrate Advent up to Dec 24, then celebrate Christmas from Dec 25 to the Epiphany on January 6th (the 12 days of Christmas).  I try to carry the spirit of Christmas with me all year round, too!  ;-)

As a gift to me, would you please share "Au Naturale Nutrition" with your friends when health comes up in conversation?  Thanks!  In return, I promise to continue sharing the wealth of information from my work in Holistic Health and Nutrition Education.  I love it!
