Our family’s traditional dish for a Thanksgiving Day

On this special day our family ate a pecan pie. It was our first Thanksgiving Day. We decided to cook America’s traditional dishes and the pecan pie was among them.

There were three popular recipes of the pie and I decided to choose one of them.

The apple pie was the first. It is delicious and flavorful. When I was a child, my mother cooked it frequently. I often cook this pie and my family have tried this pie many times. Therefore despite its good taste I made up my mind to use a different recipe.

The pumpkin pie was the second. I think it is bright and beautiful, and it fits very much for an autumn holiday. But there was one problem: some members of my family don’t like pumpkin. And no matter how beautiful it is, they will not eat it, though this pie looks very tempting.

The pecan pie was the third. We have never tried it before and I noticed that the pie looked interesting. The recipe of this pie is rather simple, and I hoped everyone would like it. Pecans are eaten with pleasure in our family.

In the end we voted and chose a pecan pie, because everybody wanted to try a new taste.

When my family gathered around the table, the pie was the center of everybody’s attention. The nut pie had a rich taste and turned out to be very nutritious. Everyone liked it, because the pie was very tasty. We decided to cook this pie every year for the Thanksgiving Day, and now it is a special dish for our family and a new recipe in my cookbook. I hope this recipe will become our family’s traditional dish for a Thanksgiving Day.
