Today is Day 4 of the series: The Tastiest Thanksgiving Ever! I’m really feeling like Thanksgiving is in the air, aren’t you?!
Let’s recap, in case you missed any of the yummies so far:
- Scalloped Corn
- Tangy Green Beans
- Cranberry Relish
- CrockPot Sausage Stuffing
- Mama’s Biscuits
- Rice Krispy Turkey Treats
Today, Lorelai from Life With Lorelai and Esther from Townships Mum are gracing us with their presence, and some tried and true recipes for everyone’s favorite Thanksgiving pies! No one at your gathering will be disappointed, we promise!
Mississippi Pecan Pie
Lorelai says: “This has always been a family favorite. In fact, I make this pie every year for my son’s birthday (he’s like mom…not big on cake). This is an extremely easy recipe and the deliciousness is out-of-this-world!!! The best pecan pie EVER!”

Lorelai also sent me a picture of her finished pie to share:
**SIGH** How wonderful does that look?!
Pumpkin Pie
Esther says: “This is from a unique old cookbook put together by the women who formed a branch of the United Empire Loyalists’ Association (my area of Southern Quebec was largely settled by loyalists fleeing the Revolutionary war in the States). Most of the recipes were passed down from family member to family member.”Ā <—Seriously, how cool is that?!

Hope you all enjoyed Day 4 of The Tastiest Thanksgiving Ever, and remember to come back tomorrow for the final installment, Day 5!
Yummy, indeed! I’m enjoying all the great recipes!
Thanks, Alli! š
Oh Man are you making me hungry with that Mississippi Pecan Pie. I need to make this for Thanksgiving… I can’t eat it but I am sure everyone else will appreciate it.
HA! I’m sorry š And I know what you mean, I’m always making things that I can’t eat, but everyone else really enjoys. I still like doing it!
Just your menu alone is fantastic, but then all the pictures and clickable menus – how valuable! I really enjoyed visiting here today from UBC and I will be back š
Thanks, Susan! You are welcome anytime!
Yum! Thanks. I LOVE Pecan Pie!
Oh yes!
I read “Mississippi MUD Pecan Pie”… I was looking for the chocolate!!!! You can tell where my mind is. š
I love pie and these both sound amazing. I especially like the stories that came with each; one from a tradition and one from a strong political belief. Recipes can be like a family tree.
Great job girls!!
That’s funny, Vee, because I added the “mud” in more than once while I was preparing this post! HA! I just went back to make sure I didn’t leave it in there anywhere! LOL And I love your analogy that recipes can be like a family tree! So cool!
The pumpkin pie recipe is different from the one I usually make. I am going to try yours this year it sounds delicious!
Great! Hope you enjoy it! š
I am to not big on cake, well most sweet things for this matter (I know it is strange), so I am always grateful for simple, proven dessert recipes that I can make with out craving them. Thank you for this ones!
I can make pumpkin pie all day long without wanting it, but I do love to make it! š
My goodness, both of these recipes look easy and delicious. That pecan pie looks perfect. You’re getting us so excited about cooking for Thanksgiving!
I’m glad! I was just on the phone with my mother-in-law earlier today, planning our menu! š
Recipes can be like a family tree… This pecan pie was first made by my Great-Grandmother… as far as I know. It is super easy and so delicious. Kristen the printable is beautiful! Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to take part, and for all of your hard work in getting this series together. I love it, and am so excited to give these wonderful recipes a try. š

That is so neat, Lorelai! Thanks again for your contribution! So glad you like the printable š
What a great recipe and a wonderful looking result. I’ve got to do this one now, Thanksgiving or not!
HA! I knew you’d be sucked in eventually š Thanks for stopping by again!
I’d love to try both of these. They are both so tasty and PERFECT for this time of year.
Absolutely! Hope you enjoy!
Pecan Pie is my husbands favorite! I have always cheated and bought them. I bet he’d go nutz for a homemade one. Thank You for two more wonderful recipes!
I know, I normally cheat, too š
Yum! I am and not a huge pie lover, but I do love to have pie at Thanksgiving! Especially a little sliver of pecan and a big wedge of pumpkin! With lots of whipped cream!!
I’m with you – pie isn’t my favorite, but that whipped cream is killer LOL
You guys are making my Thanksgiving preparations very easy š That pecan pie is so beautiful! ~Renee
Wohoo! That was the idea! Isn’t it a beautiful pie?! Lorelai did such a great job on it!
I have never had pecan pie! But I love me some pumpkin pie!
Pecan is one of my mother-in-law’s favorites, so it’s ALWAYS at our Thanksgivings! (Along with the pumpkin!)
That pecan pie looks and sounds amazing! I’d have to somehow de-egg it but it’d be worth it. YUM!
I’m sure you could play around with it!
I love pecan pie. It’s a little obsession I have!
That’s a yummy obsession! š
The pecan pie looks delicious. Tomorrows post, I’m pinning it. That way I can have them all!
There ya go! They’re up now!
Am I the only one who eats just the pecans on a pecan pie? Its just something about them that drives me nuts! I love them!
Drives you “nuts”?! No pun intended?! LOL
Help!!! There is an ingredient missing in the pecan pie, where is the syrup and how much! You say to mix it in your directions but that is the only place it is! I have just found your site and Love it!
I know, Marie, I’m so sorry š It’s fixed now, and here is the link to the updated printable! Thanks for letting me know! https://app.box.com/s/gc16rsam150yzbz3q6aw
Thanks for correcting the printable, Kristen. And thanks, Marie, for noticing the problem. I hope you enjoy the Mississippi Pecan Pie! š
Thanks!, this will be on my dessert table for Thanksgiving this year!
Wohoo!!!
Loving the looks of all these great recipes!! Too bad our Thanksgiving is already over š It’s not quite the deal it is in the USA, but we still get together with family for a meal. Christmas isn’t far off, though….that’ll be a great excuse to try them out!
Oh, yes, these can certainly work for Christmas, too! š
oh yum! being the ‘un’cook in the family, I am certainly sharing these with my mom and daughter in hopes they will graciously take my hint š they are the amazing family cooks.. i am the person who gets asked to bring the ‘rolls’ or paper goods to gatherings.. the 2014 goal is to change all that ‘with a little help from my blog friends’.
You can do it!!!

Both of the pies look very awesome. I never have any other pie than the apple pie. How embarassing I am. Will try some.
Oh, I LOVE a good apple pie! š
