🦃🍂 Thankful for Our Team: Meet Sarah Forester! 🍂🦃
As we celebrate this season of gratitude, we’re giving thanks for the amazing people who make up our North Platte family — and today, we’re spotlighting Sarah Forester! 🌻
Sarah has been part of North Platte for 12 wonderful years, and we’re so grateful for her dedication, kindness, and the joy she brings to our team every day. 💛
When we asked Sarah what she’s most thankful for, she shared:
“My family and friends (mostly Naidene!) and spending time with them.” 🧡
Here’s a fun fact that makes Sarah’s family extra special — she, her husband Michael, and their four children all have an ‘H’ in their names! (Sarah, Michael, Chelsey, Shantel, Chay, and Jhett!) How fun is that?
And of course, no Thanksgiving would be complete without Sarah’s favorites — a big slice of Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie! 🥧✨
Sarah recommends adding her Pecan Pie for a tasty sweet treat to your dinner this week: (Sarah prefers to buy the Pie crust)🥧
(makes one 9" pie)
3/4 C sugar
2TBSP Flour
1 Tsp Salt
1 C Dark Karo Syrup
2 Eggs
1/2 C Evaporated milk
1Tsp Vanilla
1 C Pecans
-In a large bowl cream together sugar, flour, salt, and corn syrup. 🧂
-Mix in the eggs, evaporated milk and vanilla.🥚
-Reserve a few pecans and stir the rest into the batter. Pour into unbaked pie shell.
-Add a few of the reserved pecans on top of the pie in any empty spots, to make it look pretty. Use a small spoon to cover them with batter.🥧
-Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temp to 350 degrees F and continue baking for about 50 minutes. Check the pie half way through cooking and tent a large piece of greased aluminum foil over the top of the pie. (I tent it high so it doesn't touch the pie filling).
✨You will know your pecan pie is done when you can shake it gently and it is not overly jiggly. If it jiggles a lot when shaking, continue cooking until the center is more set, 5-10 more minutes, or longer if needed. Err on the side of cooking it longer rather than shorter to ensure that the middle has set.✨
