Pecan Pie
Sunday summer pie night is in full swing, so it is time to share our pecan pie recipe with everyone! This pie is very simple to make and just absolutely delicious! Growing up, Pecan Pie was always one of my favorites. I pretty much love all types of nuts (expect peanuts because sadly I am allergic), and I have always loved a good pecan or pistachio dessert!
Whenever I would go out for ice cream with friends, I would always choose the maple pecan or pistachio flavor, and everyone would always make fun of me. My friend who worked at an ice cream shop throughout high school always told me those were the flavors that the grandmas and grandpas would get, but I cannot deny they have always been my favorite!
You can imagine why Pecan Pie has become one our favorites!
