Clover's Cookin'!: Ed's Pecan Pie

Ed's Pecan Pie
(Thank you Ed and Alisha Hewett!!)

1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
dash salt
1/3 cup dark corn syrup
2 T. melted butter
1 T. molasses or more
3 cups pecans (whole--toasted/roasted for 10 minutes) They are especially good if you roast them in the oven for 10 minutes first.
Ready-made Pillsbury pie crust, unbaked.

Mix all together and pour into the pie crust. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.

(Clover's Note: I actually sprinkle additional sugar over the top before baking.)

Of Things That Matter Most

"Since 'no other success can compensate for failure' here, we must place high priority on our families. We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together.

In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship."

--Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the First Presidency

(General Conference, October 2010)

Good, Better, Best

"The number of those who report that their 'whole family usually eats dinner together' has declined 33 percent. This is most concerning because the time a family spends together 'eating meals at home [is] the strongest predictor of children’s academic achievement and psychological adjustment.' Family mealtimes have also been shown to be a strong bulwark against children’s smoking, drinking, or using drugs. There is inspired wisdom in this advice to parents: what your children really want for dinner is you."

--Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
