Tasty Pecan Recipes

Thanksgiving Thursday was a lovely day.

I know you're not suppose to try new recipes for company. So, WHATEVER, I decided to anyway. We go to my cousin's house for Thanksgiving and I just take a couple different things. Country Living Magazine had some wonderful looking recipes in their November issue. I have never made a pecan pie before, but their Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie was so enticing. It did not disappoint! FABULOUS!  

I also made their Roasted Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Streusel.  What's with all the pecans?  I have no idea.  I almost took a green salad with sugared pecans, but ran out of time and thought better of it.  Back to my point, the sweet potatoes were also AWESOME!

Sorry, no good pictures of the feast.  I was busy eating.

 But the young-uns burned off a few calories afterwards.

While us old-uns sat and watched.  I had very high heels on, so there, that's my excuse. I hope your day was lovely too. There's so much to be thankful for, isn't there?
