double chocolate pecan pie

You’re in for a real treat today! A double chocolate pecan pie that is so delicious and easy to make, you’ll be saying, “It’s easy as this pie!”

I originally found this recipe in an old newspaper clipping from 1974. I was intrigued by the simplicity of its ingredients and the fact that it has no corn syrup like most pecan pies do.

Old-fashioned recipes are one of my favorite things to make and collect. They just are so homey and comforting. Check out some of my favorites here. 

The original newspaper clipping suggests eating hot or cold with ice cream or whipped cream, and I couldn’t agree more! It’s delicious any way you slice it!

I created this lux dessert for Country Sampler Farmhouse Style magazine for their Summer 2024 issue and it’s filed under “Blue Ribbon winning Recipes”, and this one sure is!! 

It's very tasty any  time of year, but here I have it styled for a Fourth of July party with lots of vintage accessories and table linens. 

Although the blue check tablecloth is a vintage find, the napkins are from Ikea, and offer that pretty calico country look. In fact, I've spotted these same napkins on the Great British Baking Show! 

A few pretty blooms and ivy from the garden brighten up the whole table! 

I do hope you’ll give it a try!

happy 2025 !

As we welcome the year 2025, I have to say again how truly grateful I am to have friends like you. I really appreciate the time you take to check in with me on this blog! 

For me 2024 has been a pretty good year. The good thing is that I kept busy on several new projects and even started styling more for magazines, which is a real treat! 

I’m still contributing to Country Sampler Farmhouse Style for every season, and I’m really excited about the Spring 2025 issue that will be out soon. In fact, I'm currently working on four more projects for the Autumn 2025 issue of Country Sampler Farmhouse Style. 

The most exciting news this year was that they selected my photo for the cover of the Winter 2024 issue! Check out the reel here!

They chose my photo for the cover!!

I’m always styling the latest projects for Pacific & Rose. Elizabeth carries the prettiest block-printed table linens and  other great accessories like robes, aprons and cosmetic bags. I'm currently styling her newest colorway in the Lilibet pattern. 

It's called Caramel, and the color is so in tune with the Pantone Color of the year, Mocha Mousse! Come back in a couple of days, so you can see it!!

This year I’ve begun a fun partnership with Antique Farmhouse. My two biggest projects for them were a Bridgerton Inspired tablescape and an English Cottage Christmas “event” that featured my home all done up for the holidays. Here’s the festive video to view, just for fun!

Over on Instagram, I’ve been trying to keep you posted with the latest goings on. Back in October I had to start fresh on Instagram with a whole new page!! I named it Claudia Fabiana Home. If you don’t follow me yet, I’d love it if you did!  

My new Instagram page, fall looks.

My new Instagram page, winter looks.

All your support and love really resonate with me and gives me encouragement in facing the new year ahead. I hope you enjoy all the new content I’ve been creating.

Thinking of you with lots of love... Happy New Year!!
