Hey!

I haven't blogged in such a long time! So much in life has happened. I'm expecting my first little one in August and time seems to fly. That's what happens when you experience such changes! I need to do so much on this blog and I am finally motivated to do it. I am going to post some pictures of food, myself, my hubby, and hopefully my new little one that is coming soon! But for now, here is a recipe that has become really popular in my family...

Thanksgiving Pie

 

3 large eggs

1 cup dark corn syrup

1 cup canned pumpkin

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter - melted

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup chopped pecans

1 9" pie shell unbaked

 

 

In bowl beat eggs at medium speed with mixer.  Add syrup, pumpkin, sugar, melted butter and vanilla.  Beat until mixed well.  Arrange pecans on bottom of pie shell.  Slowly pour over pecans. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

 

*** You can substitute canned yams for a sweet potato pie in place of the pumpkin.  Keep all other ingredients the same.   The only difference is you take a can of sweet potatoes/yams in a can.  They are usually chopped with liquid.  All you have to do is put the chopped pieces in bowl and mix with mixer.  You may want to add a little of the juice if it seems dry, but not too much.  After mixing just measure out 1 cup.  You can put the rest in a ziplock bag and freeze for another pie.  Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Two words.... Love. It.

Happy baking!~
