GrandMama's Pecan Pie

2 whole eggs (beaten)
1 cup sugar
1 cup white Karo syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons Wesson Oil
1 1/2 cups broken pecans
pinch of salt
prepared pie crust (I use Pillsbury pie crusts)

Mix all ingredients. Place in unbaked pie shell. Bake at 400 degrees for ten minutes. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake for 40 minutes. (When done it will bubble up a bit and barely shake in middle or insert knife and it comes out clean. It does cook a bit after it comes out of oven). Cool before serving.

This is a Cornelius family favorite and I'm posting it here because people are always asking me for it. This pie is easy and delicious! I always get rave reviews whenever I make it. Enjoy!

Cheesy Chicken



4 chicken breasts
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 carton sour cream
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
lemon pepper, fresh pepper, seasoning salt, as desired

Place chicken breasts in bottom of casserole dish. Season as desired with lemon pepper, fresh pepper, and seasoning salt. Mix together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, green onions, and cheese. Pour over chicken. Cook at 350 for an hour or until chicken is cooked.

This is something that I can happily say I created on my own! It is delicious and can be changed based on what you have on hand. Today I didn't have any green onions, so I made it with red onions and it was still absolutely fantastic. I usually serve it with potatoes, but I was out so I served it with brown rice--also very yummy with it. My children love this recipe and gobble it up! Enjoy!!!
