Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I hope you all got to spend it with the ones you love. The MR. and I spent the day baking pies, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade followed by The National Dog Show, eating way too much food 
with our families and a little late night shopping at Forever 21. Pretty perfect day if you ask me!

This was the first time I had ever tried baking a pecan pie and I must say it was super easy 
and it turned out pretty delicious! Try the recipe for yourself! XO

What You Will Need...

1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup (1 stick butter), melted
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
One 9-inch deep dish pie shell, unbaked, or homemade pastry
1 cup pecan halves

Directions...

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar and eggs until creamy. Add the chopped pecans, melted butter, milk, flour and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Arrange the pecan halves on top of the pie in a circular pattern.

Bake the pie for 55 minutes. Check for doneness by shaking the pan slightly. The pie should be firm with only a slight jiggle in the center. It will set more as it cools.
