Oh Heck Yes!

You know gals, I have made it my mission to get a little more pie into your lives, but now, NOW friends, I believe I can safely say that enticing more women to down good southern whiskey at all hours of the day might be a worthy endeavor too. 

No? 

Behold the Jack Daniel's pie. 

 

Oh yes. It's pecans, it's chocolate, it's happy hour! 

I'm more of a red wine gal, frankly, so we didn't have any Jack on hand. I had to send Mr. Blue Yonder out to the liquor store for the hard stuff. 

He wasn't all that thrilled to be going into a liquor store at 10AM. In fact, he swore that the clerk looked at him with "that look." - the one that says, "you're a no good drunk if you're buying whiskey before noon." 

I told him that he read the look all wrong. Really it said, "Just who do you think you're fooling, buying this itty bitty bottle, you lousy drunk?" 

He wasn't amused. 

I kinda was. 

Anyhow, make this pie and eat it for breakfast if you like! I won't tell. 

Here's a hint though... it's better warm and served up with some good old fashioned vanilla Blue Bell. If you can't get your hands on Blue Bell... well, I just don't know how you go on breathing. Better skip the pie making and just go straight to the bottle.
