Go NUTS! Classic Pecan Pie!
We’re deep into Autumn and just about at Thanksgiving. The weather in NY has gotten delightfully cooler, which suits me just fine. It feels right to be preparing to cook a feast of thanks with a nip in the air.
When I was growing up, we spent Thanksgiving with my mother’s family. We were 13 cousins who rarely got together and reveled in catching up, playing ball, and generally, staying out of our mother’s hair. My mom and her 4 sisters cooked all the incredible dishes with my grandparents, laughing and enjoying the time together. To this day, it’s a holiday always flecked with memories of those days, my take on classic Thanksgiving.
Adding to classic Thanksgiving is this Pecan Pie. It is always made with love and smiles, as I think about the all the times I’ve made it. And the faces of those who enjoy it echo my smiles – it’s a feel-good all around!
It’s so easy to put together. No mixers required. I like to use the smaller chopped pecans rather than whole pecans. Their texture is more pleasing and you get a great crunchy in each bite.
Have a WONDERFUL holiday. I’m thankful for you and all of your continued support!
