Over the week with all the Thanksgiving festivities going on, I decided to make an old Southern favorite that I haven't made in a while — Chess Pie! I've made a Chocolate Chess Pie before and shared it on here, but never shared with you my delicious Chess Pie recipe.

I have several more recipes to share with you that I created over the Thanksgiving weekend. I was quite excited that everything turned out so fabulous. It makes me realize that yes I can cook!I always doubt whether or not I can cook, even though I know that this is a God given gift and love that he has given me.
Here's a tidbit for ya
If you love to cook, don't be afraid to share your love with others. They enjoy your yummy treats, just as much as you enjoy making them! This is a great way to spread the love during the holidays and make gift baskets for those around you. Not only do you put lots of time and thought into the gift, but homemade says to someone “You are important to me.”
So what have you been making lately? Are you scared to try something new? Get in the kitchen and get to cooking!
