A nice slice of pecan pie is always a welcome treat so when I came across the idea for these pecan pie cookies I knew that I had found one of the cookies for my holiday cookie platter this year! These pecan pie cookies are really just little pecan pies that actually use a pie crust for the cookie base and they are filled with a pecan pie filling. Having said that, they are actually really easy to make, you simply roll out the pie crust, cut some circles out, fold up the edges, fill them and bake them until they are lightly golden brown and crispy! I have to say that these pecan pie cookies are just like little pecan pies that you can eat with your hands! I am going to be making a lot of them for this years cookie platter because they will disappear quickly!

Sorry about the lack of updates this past week; I had some computer problems which are hopefully resolved now!

You can still get green tomatoes at the grocery store and I have been taking full advantage of that by enjoying plenty of fried green tomatoes including more than a few fried green tomato BLTs! Once the field ripened tomatoes disappear in the late fall the green tomatoes show up and once fried until tender, these tart and tangy green tomatoes make an excellent substitute for red in BLTs! Of course, I like to play around with my fried green tomato BLTs just like I do with regular BLTs and this time I was thinking about a new version with pimento cheese . Normally adding cheese to a BLT might not be the first thing that would come to mind but the addictively good, sweet, spicy and creamy pimento cheese finds a perfect home in one!

Another fall treat is green tomatoes which make a brief appearance at the farmers market when the weather threatens to destroy the tomatoes before they ripen. Ever since I first discovered them I eagerly await them each fall and this weekend they made their first appearance. Inevitably the first thing that I do with them is to make some fried green tomatoes which is a Southern dish where slices of green, unripe, tomatoes are coated in cornmeal and fried until crispy. After an initial batch of fried green tomatoes I wanted to combine them with another Southern delicacy, pimento cheese , a combination of cheddar cheese, pimentos and mayonnaise, and make, you guessed it, a fried green tomato and pimento cheese sandwich!
