I’ll be honest. I was hesitant on sharing this recipe, because I’m not a fan of pecans. Especially in a pie. But, I’m a dang food blogger! I can’t just share things I enjoy. If that were the case, I’d just have you eating Lucky Charms. I love them! Anyway, I stopped being selfish. Here’s…
The BEST Cranberry Sauce!
I’m quite embarrassed at how long it took me to fall in love with cranberry sauce. I remember grimacing at that cylindrical mold my mom placed amongst our Thanksgiving spread.

Macaroni Salad Recipe
For years, I was afraid to even look at the macaroni salad I saw in deli’s and on buffet spreads. I honestly don’t remember when I actually decided to give it a try. But, I’m so glad I did! It’s amazing! I chuckled while developing this recipe. Because I never imagined I’d eat this stuff…
