Reinvention Queen Uses Online Recipes/ Cream Pecan Pie

Today, I want to share some thoughts on finding great recipes online from several good sources with instructions and even a grocery list of ingredients. Once I review the ingredients, I may substitute an item but normally I make the recipe as closely as the suggested recipe. Now the second time I make it, I will make the recipe my own as seasonings and/or spices are very important. This recipe I made it exactly the way the recipe called for and it was a hit. After I share the recipe and process, I will give you my thoughts on how I would adapt it slightly. On Social Media platforms, there are many sources and I am not advertising for any specific one. Recipes I want to try, I save on Pinterest but if I am going to try one in the next few days, I will post and save to my FB page. I am a super fan of Brenda Gantt’s southern cooking and baking but I always write down her recipes as she uses videos (not complaining as I love her personality as well as her cooking.

As a baker/cook, I love to share recipes and give my thoughts on the ones I have personally cooked and/or baked. On this delicious recipe, here are my thoughts:

• I found this recipe to be quite easy to follow and the ingredients were pantry items with only a few that might have to be purchased.
• I chose to chop my pecans less fine than the photos showed and loved the crunch among the smoothness of the rich pie.
• Small slices are a good idea as this pie is a rich, rich pie so a little goes a long way.
• I think this pie can be stored easily but I froze some sections for sharing to my family. It slices easily too.
• The next time I may play with the sweet ingredients to cut the sweetness a little. However, if you like the decadent dessert, this is it.
• I would brown my crust slightly more like their photo shows, but my crust was baked but it didn’t brown enough at the end of the suggested time.
• I would give this pie an exceptional rating for taste and ease of making.

Note from me, Arline Miller: I loved making this pie but I don’t recommend this to people who are diabetic (which is obvious) but even people who are watching calories/sugars/carbs unless this is your cheat day and you want to taste a slice of heaven.
