easy pecan pie
This was my first attempt at making a pecan pie. My intention was to take the stress off my mother-in-law during Thanksgiving and make all the desserts. I have always had pecan pie at Thanksgiving, but never made it. Let me tell you, this is the easiest recipe! Everyone loved my trial run, so now I have three more to make for Thanksgiving Day. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have.
