You guys may remember I live next door to a real-life blogger and all-around wonderful person, Kristen from We Are THAT Family. Her precious 10-year-old daughter is guest posting here today.
One day, she mentioned that she loves cooking shows and LOVES Paula Deen & Rachael Ray. So, I loaned her my Paula Deen's Lady & Sons Cookbook.
I kid you not, two hours later she was on my doorstep with warm snickerdoodles. You guys, I got a little teary-eyed.
Here she is...my super sweet in every way, 10-year-old neighbor...

Hey Yall!
I'm Wearethatfamily's oldest daughter!
My wonderful neighbor Bridget and I both love to cook. I made a yummy dessert (Mini Pecan Pies) from a Paula Deen cook book she let me borrow.
I served it at my mom's jewelry party and it was a huge hit! They tasted just like real pecan pies!
Here's the recipe so you can make it too:
Mini Pecan Pies crust
8 tablespoons butter
1 cup all purpose flour
1 3-ounce package of cream cheese
Preheat your oven to 325. Soften the cream cheese and butter in the microwave
and then blend it well. Now stir in the flour until you have a dough like mixture.
Let your dough chill for an hour.
While your dough is chilling, use this recipe to make the filling for your pies.
Mini Pecan Pies filling
1 egg
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 tablespoon of butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 tablespoon of butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
a dash of salt
2 thirds of a cup of pecans
First beat your egg, sugar, vanilla, and salt until it's smooth. Once your
dough is chilled, roll it into pecan size balls and squish them in the cupcake tins to cover the bottom. Pour your filling in the tins and top with pecans.
Bake for 25 minutes and enjoy! They will make about twenty four!
I hope yours taste as good as mine did!
Isn't she adorable?!? I was lucky enough to sample a few, ok SEVERAL, of these and they were delicious!
Thank you, sweet neighbor, for guest posting at Bake at 350! I hope you'll come back soon!!!

ReplyDeleteWow, they look great. How wonderful to have a neighbor child that loves to cook. Cooking kids are the best. I have copied this recipe and plan on making Kittie Cakes. Thanks! Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteMmmm those look yummy! It's so sweet your neighbor baked for you! I bet she'll be on the food network one day!
ReplyDeleteThose looks amazing, what a great job she did! I bet they taste even better!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! Those look AMAZING! I love reading your Mom's blog and I'm jealous that you live right next to Bridget too. :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is going to love seeing this when she gets home today! She asked me last week if she could swap w/J every once in awhile and just watch you bake so she could learn. While y'all do that, I could teach J how to, um. . . get gum out of my toddler's hair. Sounds even to me.
