Perfect Pecan Pie

I used to hate pecan pie.  It was just too sweet and overloaded my taste buds   But Mom shared with me her perfect recipe for making Pecan Pie.  It is so delicious, and not too sweet.

Hot Chocolate

I love Winter.  Why? Because I can drink my Hot Chocolate anytime I want! It warms you up and chases away the chill.  I can't think of anything better to do on a cold night then curl up in front of the tv with a mug of this.  Okay okay, I just HAVE to have whipped topping on top too!  And don't forget a dash of cinnamon if you're feeling particularly festive =)

Tomato Polenta

We made a lot of this when Summer was in its first blush.  We had so many tomatoes and so much corn and fresh rosemary this dish was just the natural choice to make.  Now that that season is over we are still making this.  It was just too good to make it only seasonal.  It looks almost like a deep dish pizza or a pie.  I love this stuff and the way it smells when cooking is just..../happy sigh.
