Nephew John ALWAYS needs to have a "to go" pecan pie whenever he visits. He deems this to be "the best I've ever eaten". Quite a compliment from a gourmand like John!

Love pecan pies! High 5!


You'll love this one also, I think, Julia. Thanks for the 5. Enjoy it, my friend.

Pecan is my all time favorite pies sweet and chock full of delicious nuts. Five forks!
Thank you for the big smile :) you put on my face.


I've said it before and I'll say it again.. ANYTHING for you, michael. When I make this pie I become the butt of quite a lot of ribbing because I take care to arrange the top pecans in concentric circles on the pie. This wreaks havoc as soon as a family member sees it.. obsessive-compulsive is the most-used description. I truly do know that it tastes the same if the nuts are scattered on top! Uh-oh! Maybe they're right...
Enjoy, michael 'cause it is a goodie. Thanks for your five.. yours are especially important to me for some reason.
