Pecans are versatile ingredients in the kitchen, and their high levels of vitamins and minerals make for a wholesome addition to any meal. Since they’re also high in protein and healthy fats, they make for an excellent base to build vegetarian snacks, entrees and desserts on. Chow down on these treats any time of the day to get a burst of energy that will keep you going strong through work or play!
It is a gentle reminder that pecan season is here when you begin to see the “We Buy Pecans” signs grace the front of many local businesses here in the Deep South. Typically the signs appear in front of small town feed stores, convenient shops or lumber yards. And typically it is the same businesses year-after-year who do the buying.
Don’t waste time sweating in the kitchen when you could be making memories with your loved ones. Follow these simple rules to get your holiday meal on the table in a snap and enjoy the free time under the mistletoe with your favorite dinner guests.
One of the main reasons our pecan company has flourished over the past few decades is due in large part to our supportive community here in Acadiana and specifically our home town of New Iberia, Louisiana. We cannot begin to tell you how many of our customers are local and loyal and work as brand ambassadors for our products and services.
I have memories of being cold – really cold – on Cane River. A large portion of our orchards in Natchitoches Parish, La., was located on a beautiful stretch of this scenic river, which is actually a lake due to dams built in the early 20th century. It meanders through a part of Louisiana that is graced with historic plantation homes, huge stately oaks, occasional cotton fields and beautiful pecan orchards.
I wanted to start with “my pecan story” so our readers will know who they are dealing with here. Our blog name, as you can see, is called “What’s Crackin’?.” I have to give my cousin Ward credit for the title. He is an aspiring singer/songwriter in Nashville, TN and cleverly came up with the name when asked for an idea.
