I got this recipe from my Mom awhile ago but have just got around to trying it. I should have made it sooner–it is FANTASTIC!!!! I am not kidding this is amazing! I made it last night when my cute (claims-he’s -allergic -to- pecans) husband was out of town and the boys and I LOVED it!! I had to share a plate with one of my cooking buddy neighbors–she loved it too. It is very rich–a special occasion dish. This recipe would be perfect for a dinner party–it has the “WOW” factor! (I halved the recipe)

I’ve heard a lot of good things about this recipe…I can’t wait to try it!
I was chuckling at your post, because believe it or not my husband “claims” he is allergic to pecans too (it has yet to be substantiated). But this looks delicious and I might have to try it, also, when he is out of town next week.
Mmmm, this looks delicious! My husband has a wierd thing with nuts too. What’s with these guys!!!??
I look forward to trying this soon!
I made this for dinner tonight and it was very tasty! Thanks for the recipe. :) It looks like your sauce is thicker than mine turned out, and it made me wonder if you cut out some of the butter when you made it? If you thought it still tasted great, then I’ll try cutting down on some of the butter next time.
Oh, I love this recipe… and i had forgotten about it. I think mom made it for someone’s birthday last year. Yummy.
