Dessert Friday - Pecan Pie


Today is Dessert Friday. Lisa at Stop and Smell the Chocolates hosts this every Friday. The first Friday of the month is Dessert Friday, the others are Chocolate Friday. A pretty fair balance I guess. :)

So is there any dessert that I like that doesn't have chocolate in it? You betcha! I love a good ole Southern Pecan Pie! The only problem is - I can't make one. *gasp* Yes, you read that right. My favorite pie and I can't even make it. Now that presents itself as a challenge. I am determined to make a good pecan pie. My grandma can. I love her pies. Alas, I live too far away for a impromptu class on pecan pie making with her. The best I can do is follow a recipe. So here's what I'm going to do. I am going to find a recipe and try it. If it doesn't quite meet up with my expectations, I'll have to find another one. Ah, the trials of finding a good dessert. ;)


So how about you? Do you have a dessert that you like and it doesn't have chocolate in it? Well, if not, that's ok too. You can still play along. Go visit Lisa and find some more recipes. Chocolate or not, they've got to be good!

Oh and do you want to win some chocolate? This is the last day for my giveaway, so go here and enter before noon.

Until next time...

I like pecan pie. One of my favorite pies is Key Lime. I have had it with Chocolate curls on top, which I did like. However I really love it by its self.

totally cannot make this over here. Nut allergies, but my parents love this kind of pie

Dessert without chocolate is like a beach without sand. It exists, but it's not near as good. :)

If I have to pick... I really like sour cream donuts.

Well I think I like all desserts - it would be tough to find one that I didn't. Oh actually, I am not a big fan of anything with bananas - wow, there is something!

I have a recipe for pecan pie (from another blogger) that I made for the first time at Thanksgiving. It was yummy! Let me know if you would like it and I'll e-mail it to you.
