I decided to switch up my usual pumpkin pie this year and replace it with pecan pie!! These pecans are extra special to us because my husband’s grandfather picked and shelled them from his pecan tree before he passed away. They have been in our deep freezer and we have been meaning to make a pie with them for awhile! To be honest, until I began making pumpkin pie a few years ago, I did not realize that pies are simple and fun to make! This pecan pie only took about 20 minutes of prep work and is delicious! What desserts will you be making for thanksgiving? If you have a recipe, please share!
Besides pie, what are you thankful for this year? I am beyond thankful that the Lord blessed us with our baby boy this year! We have so much to be grateful for. I hope you all enjoy a wonderful holiday with family and friends.
Keep in touch,
Dani
