I am really enjoying having some time off work to spend with my two favorite guys. The weather has been wonderful here in Arkansas so we've been trying to make the most of it. Yesterday, Slade and I had a fun day where we spent the whole day together doing all of our favorite things including a trip to the zoo and our favorite playground. I am so thankful for days like that.
Today, I wanted to share one of my favorite pie recipes. I came across this recipe about 5-6 years ago and I decided to give it a try at Thanksgiving instead of making a regular pecan pie. I was blown away by the reaction from my family and everyone that's ever tried it. In fact, my family has requested numerous times that I bring this pie to every family gathering.
Enjoy!
