I learned to make this pie almost 50 years ago. But, it was the crust that set it apart. Crust: 1 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup chopped pecans 1/3 cup margarine, melted 1/3 cup brown sugar Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine flour, pecans, margarine, and brown sugar together in a bowl until crumbly; transfer to a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven, stirring often, until crumbs are lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the crumbs to a 9x13-inch baking dish. It makes this four-star pie a five-star pie!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
