When I was growing-up we ate more Pecan Pie than Pumpkin or Mincemeat. This is the very best Pecan Pie recipe. There's more nuts and lots of brown sugar, which makes it less sweet than most pecan pies.

Frozen Whipped Topping - Truwhip
Friday November 13, 2009
If you prefer whipped topping over real whipped cream, there's a new product you should try. Actually, Truwhip isn't new, but it is to me. What I liked the most about Truwhip is that I didn't get a metallic taste in my mouth like I do with other whipped toppings. Maybe that's because it's 70 percent organic. If you'd like to find out more about Truwhip visit their website at Truwhip.com.

We've only got a couple of weeks until Thanksgiving a.k.a. Pie Day as I call it. This is the day that many people serve not one but maybe 2 or 3 different pies. This year try to avoid purchasing a ready-made pie crust. Use these Pie Crust Making Step-by-Step Photo Instructions to make your own. Not only is it made with ingredients you have on hand, but you can make your own for a lot less money. Also, you know exactly what you're getting. There are no strange chemicals. The best part, of course, is that a Homemade Pie Crust tastes the best!
