Looks great Brian and you know I’m going to try that cheesecake. I love all pumpkin desserts.
 
That's interesting. Did you post that recipe by chance?
Looks great Brian
Nacho's anytime hit the spot.
And i'm with the others , Pies and pumpkin YES, and the pecan crust. Did you grind them and make it like a Graham Cracker crust

I bought the pecan flour from amazon. If I find any pecans this year will start grinding my own. This is the recipe:

1 1/2 cups whole pecans
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup Truvia, baking blend (stevia & erythritol, not the stuff with sugar)
1 pinch kosher salt
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg white

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a food processor, process pecans on high until they are a fine meal. Add the Truvia, cinnamon & salt. Pulse a few times.

While food processor is running on low, add the melted butter & egg white until dough is completely blended & clumped together.

Lightly spray pie pan with Pam. Add the dough & cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using your fingers or the bottom of a glass, gently press to cover the bottom & sides of the pie pan. Remove the plastic wrap.

Bake the crust for 10 minutes. It will puff a bit in the middle but will flatten again as it cools. If you use this crust for a baked pie, when you bake it again cover the edges with foil so that it doesn't over-brown.

Thanks Brian for the recipe and the process, So almost the same as a graham cracker way of baking it .
Will have to try this , I like pecans , so win win
