Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the occasional treat! Pecan pie for dessert is a Southern staple, and you simply cannot beat a warm slice of pecan pie on a chilly night. And for those not-so-chilly winter nights that we are oh-so-familiar with in the Deep South, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side puts this favorite over the top!
