Wow! I am way behind on my posting! I've been working on pictures for friends and family, and I have been putting those first. But, I am determined that no matter how late, I will post!

This week, we are posting our favorite recipes. I have chosen to post two recipes. The first is a recipe that was passed to me by my cousin, that I am asked to bring to a huge majority of family gatherings on Jud's side. This recipe has two separate names, one that many consider the real name and the other is the name for church or religious gatherings!

Better Than Sex (A Touch of Heaven)

2 packs graham crackers
1/3 cup sugar
1 stick butter
1 large pack chocolate pudding (instant)
3 cups milk
8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
12 oz. cool whip

Layer 1- Crush graham crackers and melt butter. Mix graham crackers, sugar and butter. Spread mixture in bottom of pan.

Layer 2- Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 6 oz. cool whip. Spread on top of first layer.

Layer 3- Mix 1 large box instant chocolate pudding according to instructions. Spread on top of layer two.

Layer 4- 6 oz. cool whip.


The second recipe is courtesy of The Pioneer Woman.

Pioneer Woman's Pecan Pie

1 Whole Unbaked Pie Crust
1 cup White Sugar
3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Corn Syrup
3/4 teaspoons Vanilla
1/3 cups Melted Butter (salted)
3 whole eggs, beaten
1 cup (heaping) Chopped Pecans

*First, whip up your pie crust using "Sylvia's Perfect Pie Crust" found on Tasty Kitchen. (I chose to buy an Unbaked Pie Crust from the store being as this was the first pie I had made.)
*Next, mix sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl.
*Pour chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
*Pour syrup mixture over the top. Cover top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake pie at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn the crust or pecans.
*Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers.

Neither of these are hard to make and taste great!! I hope you enjoy them!
