Tweet Tweet If you’re just joining me for my Trader Joe’s series, you’re in for a treat! Every week through the end of 2013, I’m creating a new recipe that features Trader Joe’s ingredients.
Our spicy New Orleans-inspired jambalaya is so loaded with flavor, you'll be amazed that it's better for you, too. Just 15 minutes of prep, no beads required.
I flavored the dough with the pumpkin and added cardamom. I love the warmth of cardamom and it is a great partner with pumpkin. The filling was simple, toasted pecans, sugar and melted butter. The dough is only lightly sweetened so a filling with sugar is perfect for this recipe. The cream cheese icing was really the star of this bread. We love maple. We love bourbon. And the two together with cream cheese and a little sugar is … heavenly.
You know how some people have a sweet tooth? Well, I’m convinced I have a salt tooth. I have zero willpower when there’s an open bag of pretzels within arm’s reach. Ditto with tortilla chips and popcorn. I go a little weak at the knees in front of a big plate of charcuterie and olives.
