Pecan pies are very rich which is why these miniature versions are the perfect size. You get all the flavor of pecan pie in a smaller package.

30-60 minutes
ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, unbeaten
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 tart shells (2-inch size), unbaked
directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Place the tart shells on a baking sheet.
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat.
Add the eggs to a bowl but do not beat. Remove 1 tablespoon of egg white and set aside (alternately you can separate the eggs before adding to the bowl). Beat the eggs in the bowl until uniform in color.
While stirring, slowly add the sugar syrup to the eggs. Mix until blended. Stir in the pecans and vanilla extract.
Beat the reserved egg white until foamy. Brush the egg white on each tart shell.
Fill the tart shells 3/4ths full with the pecan filling.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 450 degrees for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake for 12 minutes or until the pecan filling is set.
Remove from the oven. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
