Monday was my brother Daniel's 25th birthday. We helped him celebrate by hosting a birthday dinner (or supper as it's known in my family). My brother had no opinion on what we should serve - the only thing he wanted was a birthday pie. I made a butterscotch pecan pie which I originally found at Bakerella (love that website!). The pie was soooo easy to make and everyone thought it was delicious. (Although I personally prefer fruit pies, this was yummy!)
