Yummy Pâté Recipe

I came across a recipe that appears to be high in protein considering the nuts and tofu. I made it yesterday for guests and we all enjoyed it. Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving Day, we certainly did. Sharon Simple Pecan Pâté Pecans are perfect nuts! Packed with flavor and nutrients, they are excellent sources of protein, fiber, energy-producing carbohydrates, and essential vitamins. This Simple Pecan Pâté recipe demonstrates how deliciously easy and healthy a pecan snack can be.
