a tease

***
this weekend we had perfect weather!
it was in the low 70's and we grilled out and sipped on mojitos!
it's a teaser of what's to come.  unfortunately, the cold will sweep back in at some point.
but i am waiting it out and looking forward to many nights of this.

i am desperately craving spring.
these chilly days have me longing for picnics, fresh air, long hikes in the woods, bike rides, and most of all fresh and local fruit and veggies.
i cannot wait to hear the crickets sing me to sleep.
ahhhhh hopefully it won't be long!

peanut butter pecan biscotti


***
these little delights are something you must try!
usually i'm not a big fan of biscotti just because it tends to be a little hard.
but these are just perfect.  the pecans are a perfect compliment to the peanut butter.
recipe adapted from joy the baker.
i was tempted to add chocolate chips.
i was also tempted to dip half of each one in melted chocolate.
i'll save that for next time.
enjoy!!
