Brown Sugar Pie

Happy (early) Thanksgiving! Tomorrow morning my hubs and I are getting up at the crack of dawn to get to his parent's house in time for lots of Thanksgiving fun. I can't wait. It's such a great day to spend time with family and friends, and, of course, to eat lots of yummy food! We are bringing a pumpkin ravioli of some sort (still not sure of the "sauce", though know it'll include lots of butter and walnuts...yum!), and then we are bringing brown sugar pie. It's a pie recipe that was recently given to me by a friend from the South. It's essentially pecan pie...only better (see recipe below). My father-in-law has a MAJOR sweet tooth and we are pretty sure that he is going to LOVE eating this pie. I'm told it's really good with sliced bananas and whipped cream, but I personally stick with the vanilla ice cream. Try making this easy pie for your loved ones, and let me know how it turns out! Happy Eating!!! TS
