Cranberry Pecan Pie
Make your usual pecan pie recipe, but add cranberries. Take a heaping cup of cranberries and cut them in half. (If there are any kids old enough to use a knife, this is a good job for them.) Toss the cranberries in the pie with the pecans and bake as usual. The pie is gorgeous and the tart cranberries cut the over-sweet taste of the filling.

You’re right, I have NEVER used a store bought chocolate crumb crust. However, at times I have been tempted when I’ve walked up and down the cookie aisle at the grocery store looking for the chocolate wafer cookies. Usually they’re just hidden but at times I’ve had to visit a second store to find them. This recipe originally came from a good friend who brought a grasshopper pie to Thanksgiving Dinner and then shared the recipe. I think it’s been a staple ever since.

This year we’re putting a new twist on the pumpkin pie. I have a recipe for a spiced pumpkin cheesecake. I decided to try baking it as cheesecake pies with a cinnamon graham cracker crust (homemade of course) and we both decided it was a keeper. I’m not cooking this year but am taking one of these pies along with apple and pecan to share.

I shared the pumpkin cheesecake pie with my foods class that sells food and they decided to offer this to their customers. They had 4 orders within the first hour that the email went out to staff. We’ll see how many more orders they receive. I tried eating this pie after several days to see how well the crust would hold up since they will be preparing it a couple days before Thanksgiving and it passed my test. Hopefully everyone else will like it as well as we did.

Black-bottom banana cream pie. It’s one of the five things my mother can bake, so its a staple.
(Note: We never have pumpkin pie because one year my mother tried to make one and thought she was supposed to use the inside of the pumpkin. We have never recovered.)

My must-have for Thanksgiving is Jeff Davis Pie. (Basically, the same base as a pecan pie, with bourbon, dates, raisins, and walnuts.)

I must also add that Grasshopper Pie is usually the first and only pie to be entirely finished off at almost every Thanksgiving meal that Jesse and I have hosted.
