Happy Thanksgiving!
Please allow me to imitate my good friend Oddy: PIE!
This is a big deal because I am not much of a pie girl, I usually bake the lusciously rich stuff in the form of cakes laden with cream cheese and chocolate; however, Wee One wanted to try something different.
So, she and I made a pecan-oatmeal pie and a sweet potato pie, both completely from scratch. My crusts lacks artistry, but they appear flaky.
The husband’s contribution was a shot of bourbon to the sweet potato pie…
You will have to ask him the verdict later today.
UPDATE:
As requested by Mostly Cajun, here is the link for the Pecan-Oatmeal Pie. The only thing I changed to the recipe was adding at least twice as much pecans as listed.

The pies look delicious. How did they taste?

The pies are awesome! I can’t decide which one I like better, so I will continue to serve myself one slice of each until they are gone.

Okay! You’ve gone and flung an “envie” on me. I need the recipe for the pecan-oatmeal pie.
Email would be satisfactory, but I’ll take a link. Or post it here.
thanks

*SIGH* No sweet ‘tater pie for me this year…
I do believe I’d trade every lemon meringue & coconut cream pie in existence for some of that pie…
