I am a champion!.............pie eater


So today is Easter Sunday-the day where we come together with friends and family to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus........AND stuff ourselves senseless!
Even right now as I sit here writing, I’m eating my step mom’s chocolate cake and it is fantastic! We had a great dinner and nice family time.  The food was great and we are so lucky to live in a country where we can enjoy this sort of luxury.

But as I sat through the meal, laughing and chatting with my family, I really could only think about one thing......
Grandma Dorothy’s homemade pie....

I’m not joking when I say it’s probably the best pie I’ve ever had in my entire life! Tonight’s specialty was coconut crème. She makes the crust from scratch and it’s never burnt or nasty looking. It’s perfectly golden and flaky. The filling was so rich and creamy and the top has the perfect amount of whipped cream.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have lost weight recently but this pie is so worth taking a few steps backwards
I will not lie to you when I say that I had a piece after dinner, and I got one to take home- and I'm probably going to scarf it down tonight too!

But it’s Easter weekend; a girl’s got to enjoy herself sometimes right?
I’ll start again tomorrow...or Tuesday.....Friday at the latest.....

Mmmmmm pie.......
Thanks for stopping by

I too love pie. Home-made pie but I am not fortunate enough to have someone make it for me.
Enjoy!

I will send you the recipe from the Best of Bridge for the microwave butter tarts. An indulgently easy recipe. Good enough to spread on both thighs with a spatula. Signed Momma G.
