Here is one of the other desserts that I made for the family reunion this last weekend. I have never been a fan of pecan pie, but this recipe for a chocolate spiked pecan pie is very good.
So here is post #2 about our family reunion. Cassie, Grant’s Cousin, is the only one with a child right now, so, Levi is sort of a big deal especially with the Grandma/Grand Aunts? Anyway, we celebrated his birthday while everyone was there, and here are the pictures. I am going to warn you again, there are a ton, and this is mainly so family can get whichever pictures they want. I am going to caption some of them,but the rest of more like a gallery so you can see. Again, Thanks for Sandi and Rick for hosting us all, providing so much entertainment, and of course feeding us so well!
So as I have mentioned briefly in other posts, but this last weekend we went to North Carolina for Grant’s Family Reunion. It was mainly his immediate family, cousins, aunts, and uncles there. We got there in the afternoon on Friday and left early Sunday morning. This post is VERY picture heavy, mainly because I want everyone to be able to get any of our pictures that they want. I have pretty much included all of them except really blurry ones. If you want a photo, click on it, and then right click and hit Save As to the place on your computer that you want. Anyway, the visit was awesome, Sandi and Rick have such a beautiful property, and the weather only rained a few times but mainly great weather.
This last weekend, we went to Grant’s Family Reunion in North Carolina from Friday through Sunday morning. It was a wonderful visit, and it was so nice to finally get to see all of his Mom, Sister, Brother-in-Law, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins again. Most of the menu was already planned since everyone there is a great cook/baker. So, I brought some desserts to add to the celebrations since all the main meals were already covered. Also, the desserts I made traveled well so that is always a plus. So here is my apple crumb pie that I made the day before our trip.
Sorry about the long break in posting, this is not what we meant to do! We took the time and updated the blog, which changing a lot of the photos took some time, and after that we have been super busy! Memorial day weekend we took it really easy because we knew this month of June would be NON STOP for us. So on the weekend of the first we drove to Nashville to rent a pontoon boat with Kira and Andrew. Well, it looked like it was going to rain and was forecasted so we had to reschedule for a different day, but then of course it never rained! Kira and I went to see Amy and swim in her pool instead. Then this last weekend we had a Family Union for Grant’s Family to attend as well as Kira’s Baby Shower. So, the next posts you will see will be from our trip or recipes I made for that trip. Here is my post on how I make pie dough… it is nothing special, just the older Better Homes and Garden’s recipes,but I figured I would post it anyway.
I always get recipe inspiration from all of the other great blogs that I read. The Pioneer Woman’s blog ALWAYS has amazing recipes, and the other day I realized that salisbury steak could easily be made into a Keto friendly recipe. If you want to make the non-Keto version just click HERE. Her blog has the recipe written out and much better step by step instructions than mine,but since hers isn’t Keto, I decided to give it a try.
