Lemon Pie

Zesty Lemon Pie Recipe

So I'm getting my hair cut last night and we're talking about Thanksgiving . . .

 . . .and all of the crazy things that happen when family is around!

We talked about what we had . . .

 . . .and didn't have.

In the midst of that conversation, the guy who cuts my hair said that after they went home on Thanksgiving, he made a pie.

A really GOOD pie.

He made a lemon pie!

When I think "lemon," I don't usually think "Fall!"

But he said it was soooooo yummy!

Well, he didn't say "yummy!"

He said, "good!"

When they finished the last bit of it the other night, his wife said, "you're going to have to make another one of these!"

Naturally, when I hear someone talk about a new recipe, I ask for it!

Scripture says, "Ask and you shall receive!"

I asked.

I received!

When Darren was telling me about the pie and how good it was, he said, and I quote, "What can be bad with Eagle Brand Milk?" 

And honestly, I agree!

But what he DIDN'T say was that this recipe has

2 cans of Eagle Brand Milk!

It must be doubly yummy!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
