The first recipe for 12 Days of Pueblo is here - using one of my favourite flavours - Coffee & Cacao! A unique and pleasing combination that adds a little spice to any dish. In this case, I added it to every step of the recipe - the roasted pecans, the maple balsamic dressing, and the dipping sauce! The hints of coffee were also amplified by adding ground coffee to the pecan coating for the chicken breast.
Read MoreOk these pecans are truly to die for, my Mom has been making them for Christmas for the last few years and I cannot get enough. This year I decided to spice them up a bit further by adding some Pueblo Coffee & Cacao hot sauce into the recipes. Add these to salads, rice dishes, or just snack on them…believe me, you won’t be able to stop.

Read MoreA great dish for summer, packed with fresh veggies and easily transportable to the back deck or on a picnic.

But if feeling sluggish and carbed up isn’t your fave feeling (I can’t handle it), then switch out your regular noodles for an alternative - I used cauliflower noodles.
