Pecan Squares

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
2/3 cup butter
3 tbsp whipping cream
3 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Directions:
1. Sift together 2 cups flour and 2/3 cup powdered sugar. Cut in 3/4 cup softened butter using a pastry blender or fork just until mixture resembles coarse meal. Pat mixture on bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

2. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool.

3. Bring brown sugar, honey, 2/3 cup butter, and whipping cream to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in pecans, and pour hot filling into prepared crust.

4. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Cool completely before cutting into 2-inch squares.

Lemonade Pie

4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
6 oz. can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 9" graham cracker crust

Directions:
1.Mix softened icecream and lemonade concentrate until blended. Immediately spoon into graham cracker crust.
2.Freeze about four hours until firm.
3.Garnish with strawberry slices (I sprinkle with sugar on top of berries.) Let stand at room temp long enough to add the strawberry slices before serving. (Any other fruit juice concentrate will work as well. I used Strawberry-Banana-Orange juice!)
