The Cook Book: Pumpkin Pecan Pie {& a giveaway!}


Welcome to another edition of The Cook Book
where myself & other bloggy friends share recipes they love!
Today I'm throwing in a giveaway at the end, so stick around.


Today seems fitting for Pumpkin Pecan Pie, since Thanksgiving is tomorrow (yikes!)
I brought over foodie blogger Elizabeth Ann to share this with you.



Hi! I am Elizabeth Ann from Elizabeth Ann's Recipe Box
I love spending time in the kitchen, cooking and baking for others,
 and I ADORE home-cooked meals with lots of friends and family around the table! 
With Thanksgiving quickly approaching,
I wanted to share a pie that you probably haven't had before! 
This Pumpkin Pecan Pie combines two amazing desserts into one delicious piece! :-) 
Not only is this pie wonderful, this is an easy dessert that you can make 
the day before Thanksgiving and serve cold! Enjoy! 

You will need these ingredients:
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 15 ounce can pumpkin
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark-colored corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 unbaked 9-inch piecrust
1 cup chopped pecans 
Whipped cream (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
In a medium mixing bowl combine the eggs, pumpkin, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon; mix well. Pour into the piecrust. Sprinkle with the pecans. 
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted off center comes out clean. 
Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate within 2 hours; cover for longer storage. 
If desired, serve with whipped cream. Makes 8 servings


 Yum!! For more great recipes visit Elizabeth Ann's Recipe Box!

    My favourite part of Thanksgiving is the food! My mom mades some great stuffing and although we never have Turkey, we have an grain-feed organic Chicken that is the size of a Turkey and raised on a local farm.

    I already had my Thanksgiving (Canadian) and hearing everyone in the US talk about it is making me wish I could come down to the States for a second one! haha
