A classic, easy to make Pecan Pie that will be the best choice at your Thanksgiving dessert table!

My husband and I aren’t able to check in with each other throughout the day. He drives the city bus and doesn’t have access to his phone, so we go most days without talking to each other until we see each other at home. And we can’t get to the good stuff until our son goes to bed, so some days we wait a looooong time to really talk to each other.

Recently he called me out of the blue and asked me what I was doing for lunch. He had a quick break and wanted to spend it with me! We went to a cute little cafe where I had the best Pumpkin Spice Chai that I’ve ever had in my life, we talked, laughed, shared a huge chocolate chip cookie, and had a fabulous time! It felt like we were dating again. We were long overdue for some time out, alone!

Speaking of being alone. Don’t put me in a room alone with this Pecan Pie – one of us isn’t going to make it out alive and it’s not me!
