Vanilla Cherry Pie Bars

I found out that cake and pie filling make a wonderful fast dessert!  Numerous recipes have been around for a gazillion years doing this.  Where have I been?  I'm just glad I finally decided to make this!  Get that box of cake mix out along with the can of pie filling and make these yummy pie bars.   I've added vanilla chips as an option.  They are good, however, there was too much vanilla for me.  If you love vanilla, then, by all means, add the chips!.  Here is your slice, right out of the oven.  ~smile~

Pot Pie Your Way

My oldest has been wanting me to make a pot pie lately.  Of course, I had to oblige.  This was so easy to make .... I don't know why I haven't done so before.  Use any leftover meat and vegetable combinations to make this comfort food.  Enjoy!

Dark, Dark Chocolate Pie

This pie is so rich, smooth, velvety and delicious your family and friends will be asking you to make this again even before the first one is gone. There simply isn’t a comparison between this and a store bought pie. Take the time to make smiles from your kitchen.

Peach Clafoutis

The combination of creamy custard and baked fruit is wonderful together!  Served warm with powdered sugar......Oh My Gosh,  you are going to love it!  I made this for my hubby on Father's Day, it was the perfect ending to an amazing day!

Peach Clafoutis 

4-6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

(enough to cover bottom of 10" cast iron skillet or cake pan)

5 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 cups milk, I used 2%

 1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

pinch sea salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Nutmeg, or cinnamon stick, to grate over the top

Powdered sugar, as needed for serving

Preheat oven to 350F.  Butter a 10" cast iron skillet or cake pan generously. 

Put sliced peaches in skillet or pan.

Mix beaten eggs, milk, sugar, flour, sea salt and vanilla extract until smooth. 

Pour into skillet or pan.  Peaches will come to the top.

Grate nutmeg or cinnamon over the top.

Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 40-55 minutes.  

Until lightly browned and firm to touch.

Serve at room temperature sprinkled with powdered sugar.  Enjoy! <3 and hugs! 

Fudge Pie

I ran across this old recipe the other day and knew my boys would love it.  Of course, I changed it a bit here and there, you know I do.  My hubby always asks me why..I usually don't have an answer that's just how I am.   For this pie, I changed it by cutting down on the sugar and margarine.  There was too much for me.  You can even start with 1 cup sugar to see if that is sweet enough as this is a sweet pie.  It tastes, and sets up like, fudge.  Enjoy!

Coconut Lemon Custard Pie w/Self Making Crust

I wanted something to eat besides chocolate.  We had our Dark Chocolate Coconut Bunny Butt cake for Easter...It was good!  I still have some coconut left so I thought I would make a pie.  It has been so long since I made this...I just about forgot how.  ;D  Grab a fork and help yourself....there is always plenty.  If not, I can always make more.  Enjoy!  <3 and hugs!

Strawberry Grapefruit Pie

A pie with two of my favorite fruit paired together to make a yummy dessert!  The boys want strawberry, I want grapefruit.  I made a pie to keep us all happy!  Enjoy!  <3 and hugs!

2 lbs fresh strawberries, washed and sliced

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 - 1/2 cup water

3 tablespoon cornstarch

pinch of salt and pepper

Bake pie crust according to directions.  Wash and slice strawberries.  Place in a colander  to drain.  When dry, slice.  Put some aside for toppings.  Peel, remove membrane and cut grapefruit in sections or pieces.  Put on paper towels to remove liquid.  Save some for toppings.  Dice 1/4 cup each strawberries and grapefruit put aside.  Put a layer of sliced strawberries on the bottom of the pie shell.  Add grapefruit and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar.  Add another layer of sliced strawberries.  Heat Karo Syrup, sugar,  salt and pepper, diced fruit, water *start with 1/4 cup* and cornstarch, cook until thickened, stirring continuously.  Remove from heat and add jello, stirring constantly until dissolved.  If too thick, add a little water.  Pour over fruit and place in refrigerator until set.  At least 2 hours or until firm.  Top with whipped cream and additional fruit if desired.

Cast Iron Skillet Bottomless Apple Pie

My hubby, Ted, has been after me to make him a dessert that isn't hand held and doesn't contain chocolate.  I got up this morning and decided it was time to make one just for him.

I saw a recipe for an apple pie that Sandra Lee made and I adapted mine from hers.  Well, Honey, Here is your dessert!  You see that slice missing (much more gone now) ...You know who ate it, don't you?  Yep.....<3 and hUgs!

Honey Bun Custard Pecan Pie

I told a lady where we get a truckload of pig delights (old bread and sweets) occasionally,  that I would give her a recipe for a Honey Bun Cake.  I really thought I saw a recipe, somewhere or another,  that used Honey Buns to make a cake.

Since I couldn't find one,  I decided to try and make something yummy from that box of honey buns.  The result was a egg custard pecan pie.  It is YUM!  The only thing is I made it in a 10" spring form pan and it should have been in a smaller pan for the amount of ingredients in the recipe.  That said,  Here you go...

Chocolate Chip Banana Cream Cookie Pie

I know we are just like everyone of you with more than one child.  It seems everyone wants something different.  We either take turns with who gets to chose what, or like today, I take what everyone wants and turn it into one dish.  This time I combined Chocolate Chips Cookies one wanted with Bananas another wanted and Pudding the last one wanted.  The end result was GREAT!  With the help of one of the twins, we had this delicious "Pie" ready for all to enjoy!  We hope you do too!  <3 and Hugs!

Chocolate Chip Banana Cream Cookie Pie

Large Bag Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix and ingredients to fix it.

Large Box Instant Banana Cream Pie Pudding

2-3 Bananas

2 1/2 cups milk

I used Better Crocker Cookie mix with one egg and reduced the margarine to 6 tablespoons.  Mix and cook in a lightly greased pie plate at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.  As always...my oven is different than yours so start checking early.  :D   Cool on rack.

While cooling make pudding.

Once cookie is cooled...slice bananas and layer on cookie.  Add pudding and let set in fridge for 4 hrs.

Top with whipped topping.  I keep mine in the freezer.

Cut a piece and put in the freezer for a bit. It is so Good frozen!  Enjoy!  <3 and Hugs!
