How To Make Pecan Pie For One

One thing I discovered when my kids grew up and moved away was that the holidays would never quite be the same.  When my kids were in college, they enjoyed coming home for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  They went to school within driving distance so it was easy to do.  After college, their new career opportunities took them to other parts of the country.  Coming home, especially around Thanksgiving wouldn’t be as easy to do.

My husband talks about the Thanksgiving he spent alone in Philadelphia when he was living and working there.  He was in his early 20’s and couldn’t make it home to spend the holiday with his family.  He says he wanted to make Thanksgiving special, even though he was celebrating by himself.  He decided to make lasagna and spent $70 on the ingredients. He remembers the lasagna not being all that great but he was determined to have a home cooked meal on Thanksgiving.
