This second one is one of my son's faves and seriously, he can polish off the whole pan if I don't hide them. Totally decadent and worth the calories, cher! Divine!

I've received a special request for a clip of one of my favorite bands, The Bluerunners. They play an eclectic blend of Cajun, roots, rock, and blues and are were one of the most popular bands in Louisiana and toured worldwide. They no longer play together on a regular basis, but are scheduled to perform for a special reunion performance at Downtown Alive, in October. I took this little clip at Festival International and they are seen here, playing with Horace Trahan, an accordion player with a band of his own. This one's for you, cher!

You say pecans, brown sugar, butter and Karo Syrup, you are speaking my language! And I have everything I need for these recipes except the pecans!
Just looked up Decadence - it says, "a luxurious self-indulgence". LOL I can imagine this description is 'right on the button!' Must go and catch some Pecans LOL. Oh and I wish I had known that your Cajun Bloody Mary's cure Hangovers! LOL Cheers cher.
The almond extract is a wonderful addition to the banana cake recipe, and this one looks great too. Chocolate fudge pecan pie!! Wow! thanks, sp
I cast my vote for the Chocolate Fudge Pecan Pie ... Pour me a hot cup of decaf and I could enjoy a slice right now :)
now that is some friend, shelled pecans, that's like gold coins... I've had eye on these brownies, sound so good and so does the pecan pie bars and that fudge pie is out-of-sight... I think I could polish off a pan by halftime...
Whoa! Death by pecans. I think I could have all of these on my Thanksgiving table. YUM-O
Now that we moved ashore I have a kitchen and am re-learning how to cook. Delight!

Fabulous treats! I can see why the Choc Chip Pecan Pie bars are your son's favorites. I have a feeling I'd go for 'em too.
I looked for you Friday night too--we were all over the place though. Steve Riley is my son's idol and he was just too excited to be there!
Eek, if I try all your wonderful recipes, I'll be too big to fit through the front door. And forget sitting in my car's bucket seat, too. But doggone it, it just might be worth it ...
