Oh my Sweet Pecan Pie

Pecan Pie … Oh Me Oh My!

Filed under: My bakery — This is a very common & easy pecan pie recipe. My families all time favorite dessert! Savory and always prefer it to be sweet & a bit salty, but love the sweet and salty combo even more, and this pie nails it. Toasting the pecans adds an extra step, but it’s well worth it, for that warm and toasted rich flavor. Add a dollop of vanilla bean ice cream...yum,

or whip cream is a nice treat to serve.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups shelled pecan halves
  
• 1 cup golden corn syrup
  
• 1 cup firmly-packed dark brown sugar
  
• 1/4 TSP salt
  
• 5 TBSP unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  
• 1 TSP vanilla extract
  
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature, slightly beaten
  
• 9-inch unbaked deep-dish pie shell
  
• unsweetened whipped cream OR vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1) Preheat the oven to 325F/160C.

2) Spread the pecans on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven until just fragrant (about 10 minutes) and remove and let cool.

Note – you can skip this if you don’t have time or don’t what the nuts roasted, but it’s good!

3) In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, sugar, salt, butter and vanilla until smooth, then whisk in the eggs.

4) Pour the mixture into pie shell and sprinkle the cooled pecans over the top.

5) Place pie on the center rack in the oven and bake for about 60-75 minute, or until the center puffs slightly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (if the crust begins to brown too much during the process, cover it with foil).

6) Serve warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or ice cream!

• Wiggle the wand left to right at the base of lashes. It's the mascara placed near the roots -- not the tips -- that gives the illusion of length. ;-)

Did you know?

• That applying lipstain is best with a lip brush. This is because you get just enough coverage and stain is applied more evenly.

Natural Hair Recipe 2

Natural Hair Recipe - At Home Treatment.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR -
Apple cider vinegar does wonders for your hair. It helps to balance the ph of the hair and keep it smooth and shiny. It also helps to naturally detangle the hair. You can use it weekly or biweekly.

Some prefer to use it as a final rinse after cleansing and conditioning their hair. Others like to use it after cleansing the hair before conditioning. It helps to remove product buildup from the scalp and control dandruff. Don't worry the vinegar smell will disappear once your hair is dry.

A Natural Herbal Recipe -

• 1 tablespoon of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
  
• 1 tablespoon of White Wine Vinegar
• 1 quart of distilled water
  
• Optional (dash of pure olive oil or infused organic herbs like horsetail, lavender, nettle, rosemary, sage). Be careful when using essential oils or herbs you may want to consult your doctor first.

Directions -
Pour the mix over clean damp hair using a bowl or basin to catch the runoff. Continue to use the runoff from the bowl to rewet the hair with this solution until it is completely saturated. Allow the mixture to remain on your hair for five minutes then rinse.

If you have dandruff you can use it straight. Just put the Apple Cider Vinegar onto a cotton ball and apply it to the scalp undiluted. Let it sit on the scalp for 15 minutes then cleanse and condition your hair as usual.

You can dilute Apple Cider Vinegar with water and use it as a toner for your face. You can also make a mix of Apple Cider Vinegar, Water or juice and Raw Honey and drink it as a health drink.
It may help get rid of the body of toxins, promotes regularity and supports digestion. It also may reduces high blood pressure naturally.
