All About "baking"
Pecan Pie with Chocolate Surprise
Most families have not just one pie at their holiday table, but several. This dessert, though it might play second fiddle to pumpkin pie, is quite delicious in its own right.

Pumpkin pie is a must-have on everyone's Thanksgiving table. I love this recipe because the custard is soft and smooth and doesn't require the use of canned milk.

Cobbler usually evokes thoughts of cooler days when the desire for comfort food runs high. When the cobbler is made with berries, though, it's all springtime to me. This cobbler is little on the cheating side, using canned biscuits in lieu of homemade dough and frozen berries replacing the usual fresh. My husband is just crazy about this and all but one of the kids consumed it like there was no tomorrow. I like it for the intense flavor from so few ingredients.
