Answer 2

Pecan pie is pretty easy. Just stir everything together, dump it in a crust and bake.

Here's what I made for dessert, and it's the simplest dessert I know.

Pistachio pie

1 pkg pistachio pudding mix
1 can (about 15 oz.) crushed pineapple
1 12 oz. tub of Cool Whip
1 Keebler graham crust

Mix the pudding mix and pineapple together, let rest for 15 minutes. Fold in the Cool Whip, dump it all into the crust, and refrigerate for 4+ hours. It's cool, light and fluffy.

Turkey breast casserole. Stove top stuffing, as directed..in casserole dish/ cake pan. Skinless/boneless turkey breast placed evenly on top. Cream of chicken soup over all. Crushed chips or paparika or curry powder for a tad of coclor/texture on top. Oven at 350 degrees for 45 mins. cover for first 15 (speeds up cooking)Canned sweet potatoes in baking dish, add marshmallows + butter/marg or brown sugar(or both) add to oven for last half hour of casserole time.
