Happy LEAP DAY friends! I hope you have plans to do something wild and crazy! My plans include trying to knock off the rest of this terribly scary work calendar for February.

Since my Leap day will be filled to the brim with cooking, I’m so excited to introduce Liz from Southern Charm, who is going to tantalize you with some incredibly delicious looking pecan balls she made!

Hey y’all! How is everyone? I’m Liz from Southern Charm. Can I just say, well type, that I am SO excited and honored to be guest posting for Claire today! I read her blog religiously and am determined to make pretty much every recipe she posts! I don’t think she can do wrong 🙂

This weekend I stopped by my parents’ house and was greeted with a little package from my aunt.

It was a package of pecans from her pecan tree. Love! Immediately, I separated out half of the nuts to make a fresh batch of this stuff!

Also known as pecan butter since I’m fresh out. However, I was at a lost as to what to do with the other half. I went through Pinterest and recipes I have bookmarked and something caught my eye …  Amazeballs, or pecan balls!

These babies are the perfect snack, filled with protein and healthy fats. Did I also mention that they are super tasty?!

    Theres a widely held misconception that the harder the course, the more chance of identifying the best player.

    The reason that waist training has actually come to be prominent again is
    that a lot of Hollywood stars are noticeably healthy
    nowadays therefore lots of people also want to
    obtain the very same perfect physique.
