Last week, I shared my GrandBettye's recipe for corn pudding, a Thanksgiving staple in our house. By now, you probably have Thursday's menu planned but (if you're like me) haven't actually done the shopping yet. (Full disclosure: Gonna make Tony do it. Sorry, Tone.) So, if you still have a grocery store run on your To Do list, add these ingredients for an easy make-ahead appetizer: My GrandBettye's recipe for Texas Pecans. They're simple and quick to make and are addictive. So so so delicious. Around the holidays, I'm constantly making them; baking these suckers makes the house smell amazing, and it's nice to have a snack on hand when people drop by unexpectedly. I'm sharing them today because, if you're hosting Thanksgiving, the last thing you need to worry about is also making appetizers. Bake these in advance, throw them on a cheese platter with some dried cherries and crackers, and you are good to go. And if someone else is hosting, these make a great hostess gift that your loved one can stress-eat while trying to figure out how to un-burn the turkey. ENJOY!View Article

I hope you are all getting a half-day tomorrow and have plans to eat, drink, wear white for the last time if you follow society laws or sit in traffic on your way to Burning Man. If I were throwing down with my friends this weekend, here's what I'd be making...View Article
