This recipe came to me when I was looking at ingredients in my refrigerator that needed to be used up before spoiling.

Any kind of rice will work but I think the nuttiness of the pilaf adds a little something extra to this dish. Also, if you are not a fan of asparagus, you can substitute any grilled veggie of your choice.

ENJOY!

This recipe is loosely based on my sister-in-laws mom’s recipe for Hummingbird cake.

I couldn’t remember the exact ingredients in the original (although I am sure eggs and butter were on the list) so I just experimented and came up with this yummy, vegan delights.

I hope you ENJOY as much as we do!

Growing up my mom always made pignoli cookies during the holidays. They are so delicious and are perfect during the afternoon with a cup of tea or fancy enough to be served for dessert.

I must warn you, however, both the pine nuts and almond paste are a bit pricey. WalMart sells the same almond paste as high-end grocery stores but a few dollars less expensive.

These cookies can be stored, at room temperature, in a tightly sealed container for several days.

ENJOY!
