Georgia Pecan Pie
While pecan pie is not the healthiest dessert, it is full of healthy fat and fiber that comes from the pecans. Everything is okay in moderation! It would be a great option for Christmas or other holiday parties as well.

The pecan pie turned out great and was enjoyed my family and my husband's family. The Pearson Farm pecans were nice and large which looked and tasted great. The pecans were flavorful and were a great addition to our Thanksgiving celebrations.
