Pie is actually my favorite dessert, but I rarely make pie because it takes a bit of time.
Thanksgiving is pie making time for me. Last year, I made three different kinds of pie for Thanksgiving and a friend made another. The recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie is here, and the recipe for my favorite apple pie is here. I have always used the pumpkin pie recipe on the Libby’s Canned Pumpkin label. It has never failed me.
Here is the recipe for Chocolate Pecan Pie that is definitely not low calorie but so delicious. Hey, low calorie pies are against the law at Thanksgiving! Have a lovely holiday!
