Ever since I got married one of my goals was to learn how to make pies. My Mom is the best pie maker and it is always a treat to have her homemade pies. So, for the past couple of years I have always wanted to follow in her footsteps...but usually I failed. But after countless attempts at pie dough recipes and finally giving in to buying a pastry cutter, I think I'm on the right track. On the left, my Grandmother's famous chocolate pie. In the middle, pumpkin pie made from scratch (I even roasted and pureed the pumpkin). And on the right, my new favorite recipe thanks to Kristi McCord, chocolate pecan pie.I know this post is a little cheesy but to me, reaching a goal is worth shouting about!! The real test, my Mom and Dad are coming tonight for Thanksgiving, she'll be the best judge.

Those pies look fabulous! Way to go! And I'm glad you own a pastry cutter--it's my all time favorite kitchen utensil!
