Every year I make Pecan Pies, I took on the task partly because my husband had trees and before we were married he gave me a bunch so it started as a new tradition. So this year We've had "" NO"" pecans off our trees. And for those of you who do bake understand that buying such things at the store is not an easy thing to do.....it's like pulling a band-aid off a really hair spot. Brutally Painful!! To say the lease, $7.oo for 2 cups worth, which they claim makes two pies. I don't know who's making those pies, who's eating them. But I can tell you this, that ain't enough!!! So that's to much $$ for me to pay!
Thankfully my wonderful mother still had some in her freezer that we gave her long time ago. So a cracking we went taking several hours, but they're all done and I have pecans :)
I willing make these pies and I have some pride in how they taste, although honestly I've never tasted them. How 's that? I really haven't tasted them. The very first year they all were eaten up so fast I didn't get to take on home with me... So I thought well the way I made them and the ingredients I used must work so I left it that way every year and I'm thinking what kind of fool would keep telling me they are really really good. Cause I'ma keep making them!! they are mini pies not one giant one, I enjoy piling them into a container and delivering them like the thanksgiving turkey. Every year they are eaten up, most before anyone can take home any. Or eat right there on the spot. I promise myself this year I'm snagging a small piece to taste it. You'd think I'd have eaten one considering they are mini, but honestly I'm always busy and never think about it. I love cooking for others, so I'm anxious to get em to their destination!!
So I am going to attempt to make two large pies because I don't have much time this year :( and leave it be.....so until then I'm leaving you hanging

- I'm an outdoor kinda girl. I love thunderstorms, sitting with friends and family and having a laugh! I enjoy creating anything and everything. things I love = COOKING! gardening, storms, photos, vintage stuff, crafts, friends, hidden beauties, the underline meaning, music with soul, the wind, daydreams and night dreams, the feeling when you finished cleaning something, fishing with my husband, mountains take me somewhere far away, stars ground me, and people spin me in circles, I carry my heart on my shoulders for everyone to have, thinking before doing, laughter, laughing at your own self, imagination and reality, watching someone discover something for the first time, art being and doing, turquoise, peacocks, LILIES. Dark chocolate. It is what it is! Live It!

I'm already feeling alittle bit guilty for not making small pies, I'm feeling alittle slow pull to being suckered into going to the store to get the materials to make mini's.
