Hello there! Today’s adventure is in the kitchen!

Today is all about pie!

March 14th is Pi Day (3.14), but, in actuality, for my hubby, it is just a good excuse for a sweet treat!

I gave him a couple of options (pumpkin pie, cherry pie or pecan pie) as I had all the ingredients for them. His choice was Pecan Pie (not surprisingly, as it is the sweetest.

I already blogged about this recipe here, so that I won’t go into all the details today.

While on one of our driving vacations through the United States, we found a recipe book that we thought would make a great souvenir of our holiday in the southern United States. We purchased the book in Charleston, SC; however, this book is the “Legendary Recipes from Virginia’s Queen of Pie.” It is: “Mrs. Rowe’s little book of Southern Pies.” I have made several recipes from this book over the years.

For today’s pie, I used fresh, local maple syrup instead of corn syrup and added a shot of bourbon to the filling. These are the last of my Georgia pecans. I eagerly await the time that we can travel again, so that I can replenish my supply.

This pie was delicious. Here are just a few photos to whet your appetite.
