Hey Ya'll, its time again. I've got a few new recipes and some new projects. I decided to revamp this, and instead of doing just recipes, I am also going to start posting my crafts on here. I think that way I will have more exciting things to show you. And sometimes, it's easier to write out directions on a craft than it is to write out a recipe, lets face it. Though today I do have an exciting recipe for you.
"What is it?" you may ask, well...taking a note from Kerry Russel in the movie, "Waitress", I decided to name it something long and obnoxious. I settled for... points for you if you can quote the song this came from.

The pie was created to fill a void. I had been craving Pecan pie for almost a month and being on a diet I kept telling myself no. I wanted to be good, and finally it reached a point added onto a bad day that I just decided that I was going to make myself a pie. I myself cut the pie into 10 servings to save calories.

200% roommate approved. Why 200% you ask? She had TWO SLICES!
It was really good, and the oatmeal filled you up so it was like tricking your body that you had a large slice of pie. The chocolate chips added a little sweetness and the Jack Daniels added a hidden kick. And the biggest issue for calories is usually the crust with all that butter....I know its amazing, but when you are trying to be good,it's hard....so we used the phyllo dough. It's a crispier, flakier crust but so worth it. All in all, it was an awesome treat and just what the doctor ordered. So now you can have your Pie.....and eat it too!
