There are certain things that my family on the east coast just doesn't partake in....for example - chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy, and pecan pie to name a few. Even though I pretty much grew up in Oklahoma, having a New Yorker for a mom kept me somewhat sheltered from some of the southern delicacies. I only had these items if I was at a restaurant and ordered them! In fact, I never even tried pecan pie until a couple of years ago. It just never looked good to me. I decided to make Frank a pecan pie one year for Thanksgiving to give him at least one of his "normal" Thanksgiving dishes. I got the recipe from The Pioneer Woman and like everything she makes, it was amazing! I made him another one this year and added some cut out leaves to decorate the top. I got those as a wedding gift and only seem to remember I have them in the middle of the summer. I actually saw them today and it was the right season, so viola!

Happy Thanksgiving! Tomorrow my baby turns one! A lot to be thankful for, that's for sure!
