Miniature Pecan Pie

If you are like me and love Pecan Pie, you will LOVE this! I make my recipe as two smaller pies (5 1/2") instead of a large one! I know it's just a small thing, but it's fun and it's different. To me, this pie is better enjoyed as a smaller slice, leaving room for pumpkin and mincemeat on the side!

Red Velvet Cookies

These luscious Red Velvet Cookies are inspired by a classic red velvet cake. What makes these unique is the cream cheese is mixed into the dough! Not a frosting and not a filling. Doing this creates a soft, chewy cookie that will surprise you. The recipe says to chill the dough, but I keep my home pretty cool, so I've done them with a pretty short chill time and they work just fine.
