Three Simple Holiday Recipes with Nuts - Austin, TX

We have three simple holiday recipes with nuts for you to consider this holiday season. 

What do you think when it's holiday season and you're pulling up to the family get together? Some picture their mother's baked ham. Others will imagine grandma's delicious dinner rolls. Most of us are excited for the sweets. Sometimes it's a box of chocolates from the cousin you see twice a year. Other times it is the plate of delicious goodies after the meal (or before, no judgement here).

Enhance the texture and taste of your sweet holiday recipes with the addition of austiNuts variety of nut selections.

1. The Pecan Pie

It is a crowd favorite and divides its' time between Thanksgiving and Christmas dessert tables. This recipe came from a Texas State fair winner for this pecan pie. If you "follow it to a t" you may find yourself going home with the ribbon for best dessert at the family party.

Hilah Johnson has a successful webshow where she creates delicious meals and treats that you can try at home. We found her Texas Chews especially delightful. If you have any extra afterwards, please send them to 2900 W. Anderson Ln. Austin, TX 78757. These dessert bites contain chopped pecans within them as well as a decorative pecan to top it off.

Some like their brownies with nuts. Some like their brownies without nuts. We prefer brownies with FIVE nuts, or more. The Five Nut Brownie is another delicious recipe from Hilah, it includes the regular brownie fixings along with a dry roasted nut mix. 

We have two different options for your dry roasted nut mix needs. austiNuts carries a Deluxe Dry Roasted Nut Mix and a Lone Star Dry Roasted Nut Mix. Each of these also come salted or unsalted.
