THE FORBIDDEN NUT!

I have recently had to deal and cope with 

new allergies monthly. The last allergy I

developed was my reaction to tree nuts. 

My first reaction was with peanuts. My

stash of peanut butter had to be given 

away. I thought I was doing a good thing 

when I bought an organic pecan bar from

a health food market. I was enjoying this

dessert when I began to itch from all over.

Two bites had me rushing to Urgent Care! 

My doc said, " No tree nuts,lady!"

I had to change my Thanksgiving 

desserts this year. My baking of my

decant pecan pie was forbidden! I 

recalled that my mother baked a lot 

of Southern Chess Pies for Sunday 

dinner. I used to love to eat them.

I had not tasted them since I left home. 

I felt a ray of hope as I searched online

for chess pie recipes. Maybe I wouldn't 

miss pecans and walnuts after all. 

I decided to try baking brown sugar 

and chocolate chess pies. I found two

recipes that I liked on Allrecipes website. 

These pies are rich and sweet, so a small 

slice should satisfy my sweet tooth.

Here is picture of my two pies:
