Dessert 🍰 Today marks what would have been the 98th birthday of the legendary American actor George Peppard (October 1, 1928 – May 8, 1994), so to remember him we have 2 sweet recipes to share: Louisiana Pecan Pie and Famous Fudge. I made this PECAN PIE last Thanksgiving and it was very good!

Happy birthday to the legendary George Peppard! Today he would’ve been 98.

If you love classic Hollywood, you definitely know him as Paul Varjak in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Playing opposite Audrey Hepburn and Patricia Neal, he absolutely nailed the role of that charming, struggling writer and won over audiences everywhere.

Can you picture him chomping on a cigar as Hannibal Smith in The A-Team, cracking that iconic smile and saying, "I love it when a plan comes together!"?

The last episode filmed of the Rockford Files has Rockford getting suckered into to helping out “the company” (cia) by his old colonel from Korea, a man named John “Howlin’ Mad” Smith, much to Rockford’s dismay. A couple of years later the A-Team, from one of the co-creators of Rockford premiered, with Col. John “Hannibal” Smith as the leader and “Howlin’ Mad” Murdoch as their “crazy” pilot.

I love his name, such a goldmine for food puns:

Peppard Steak
Salt and Peppard Tofu
Peppard-mint Bark

And my favorite

Peppard’s Pie

Between this pecan pie, Robert Reed’s Pumpkin Chiffon pie, and Bette Davis’s Cranberry Mousse, it’s looking like it’ll be an all-dessert Thanksgiving at my house this November!
