Do you know that hardly
ANYONE
in my family
likes nuts?
Can you IMAGINE that?
I can't!
I have always loved nuts!
Peanuts,
Almonds,
Walnuts,
Cashews,
Brazil Nuts,
Pistachios,
You name it- I love it.
But my FAVORITE of all time
is probably
PECANS!
Gotta love those pecans!
At Thanksgiving I always
make at least one
PECAN PIE.
Now I have always used a
traditional recipe for
Pecan Pie
but when I spotted this recipe
I thought it would be fun
to try it for
Thanksgiving.
This came from
If you can't read it
I have typed it out here for you.
Utterly Deadly Southern Pecan Pie
1- 10" pie crust (I use Pillsbury Dairy Case)
1 TBS powdered sugar
4 large eggs
1-1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter @ room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 TBS all purpose flour
2 TBS milk
1-1/2 tsp vanilla (I use a bit more)
1-1/2 cups pecan halves
Preheat oven to 325º
Fit pie crust into 10" cast iron skillet
Sprinkle pie crust with powdered sugar
Whisk eggs in large bowl until foamy
Whisk in brown sugar and next 6 ingredients
Pour mixture into pie crust and top with1-1/2 cups pecan halves
Bake at 325º for 30 minutes
Reduce oven temp to 300º
Bake 30 more minutes
Turn oven off and let pie stand
in oven with door closed
for three (3) hours.
Serve with dollop of whipped cream
Just so you know-
there are many NUTS in this family
which lends itself to
much hilarity at family gatherings.
We don't all go out to eat at
restaurants very often because
the family gets LOUD...even though
most of us don't drink.
We laugh about everything
and some poor soul is usually the
BUTT of the jokes--
but the VICTIM changes
on a whim.
Anyone else have a family like that?
My Hero does his best to ignore
everyone and pretend he is just
a visitor at the table.
Yep- one in every family!
By the way,
I am home from vacation
and as soon as I figure out how to get
my pictures out of that darned
CLOUD
I will be posting some pictures.
I promise you will NOT see ANY
pictures of me in a bikini--
YEAH---Wouldn't want you to
lose your appetite
before Thanksgiving.
Hmmmm...on the other hand-
maybe that's not such a bad
deterrent for overeating....
nah..........never mind..........
