Black Bottom Pecan Pie

My grandma and I added chocolate to our pecan pie recipe one fateful turkey day, and I’ve never looked back. This recipe from The Book on Pie contains my just-sweet-enough pecan pie filling (no corn syrup!) + a dark chocolate black bottom base, all wrapped in a buttery, flaky crust!

The Final Episode of Biscuit Bonanza!

The last in my deep-dive series on biscuits is about a very special recipe: my Flakiest Cheese Biscuits. These biscuits are impressively tall and boast gloriously buttery, pull-apart layers that are studded with crisp + gooey pockets of cheese. This recipe is a crowd pleaser + a stunner - don’t sleep on it!!!
