My recipe today features Millican Pecans.  I was lucky enough to receive a wonderful package from Millican.  I am always happy when I receive product from them.  I know it will be fresh and of good quality.

The first thing I did when I got this package is open that pecan jalapeno jelly, pour it over some cream cheese and hand it to the Teen with some crackers.  She was in heaven!!!

We enjoyed this for dessert one night after dinner.  Then we each had a slice for breakfast the next day.  The Teen finished this off as snacks throughout the day.
