How to make cranberry pecan pie bars
This is my third week of being full-time with The Gourmet RD. It still feels like some wild dream and someone is going to pinch me and wake me up and reality will set back in.
But this IS reality! Which is the crazy, exciting, surreal thing that will take me a while to realize. I’ve dreamed about this for years but never thought it would actually happen.
And I know this is kind-of the first time I’m telling all of you this… that I’m full time The Gourmet RD now! I left my full time job running a teaching kitchen, and am now all-in on this roller coaster of consulting, blogging, photographing, recipe developing, cooking on TV, writing, etc.
It’s everything I’ve ever loved about all of my past jobs + much, much more. Bonus: My boss is pretty amazing. 😉
Again, feeling like someone is going to pinch me! But I’ve put my heart and soul into it, and I now realize if you do that, your dreams can absolutely become reality.
Yes, yes, yes!
Anyway… that’s enough mushiness for me for like… 3 years.
So I’m going to spend the rest of this time telling you all about one of the most favorite parts of my job.
These cranberry pecan pie bars are something special
Drum roll please… dessert! And not just any dessert, but the best kind made with cranberries, pecans, maple syrup, oats and the greatest baking flour in all the land: Bob’s Red Mill® All-Purpose Organic Flour.
It’s soft, fluffy, unbleached (thank goodness) and makes for the most amazing baked goods. I’ve been using this flour for pizza crust, pancakes, muffins, pies (for a client! I can say that!) and now these delicious Cranberry Pecan Pie Bars.
Absolutely the greatest flour for all of your holiday (and everyday) baking needs.
It's basically magic flour
I highly encourage you to use this flour to make all of your favorite holiday goodies: cakes, cupcakes, pies, bars, COOKIES, wrap them up in a cute box with ribbon and hand them to all of your friends.
It’ll make them feel amazing, and you’ll know you did a good deed by spreading love via food. It’s one of my absolute favorite things to do, you guys. I love when my friends and family (and clients!) try my food and tell me how much they love it and it puts a big ol smile on their face.
And what a better time to do that than the holidays?!
So I want to see all of your delicious holiday baked goods! Send me photos on social media and hashtag #bakesgiving, #thegourmetRD and tag @BobsRedMill in them as well.
We love to see what you’re baking, especially when it’s a gift to all your favorites in life.
These Cranberry Pecan Pie Bars can be reality. Let’s do this bakesgiving thing!
