I'm a southern gal with a passion for cooking and baking from scratch, the old fashioned way!
Buttermilk Pie has been a favorite in our family for many years. There is something about the simplicity of the recipe that surprises me every time, because the end product is so amazingly delicious. It feels like cheating it’s so easy to make! The pie itself has no crust but holds is own with a deliciously rich and fluffy custard. As wonderful as it is plain, it’s even better topped with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream….
Happy Thanksgiving, dear readers!!
Here in the United States, we are celebrating Thanksgiving, the harvest, our families, delicious food, and life in general. This recipe celebrates all of those, fully and simultaneously.
Again, I’m afraid I have been holding out on you, dear readers. Don’t hold it against me – just know that I still have plenty of special family recipes up my sleeve… This is pretty much my mom’s family’s most prized, most loved, most famous and most delicious recipe. And here we are, over two years into this blogging adventure together, and I am finally handing over the goods!
When it comes to pumpkin pie, I’m a pretty traditional girl. If I’m not making my recipe using fresh pumpkin, then I tend to rely on the trusty recipe on the back of every can of Libby’s Pumpkin. It’s reliable, easy, and delicious. From time to time, I’ll amp up the spices in this recipe to make a deliciously zesty pie with an extra special zing!
Aaaahhh, the end of the summer. Tomorrow marks the first day of fall here in Georgia. Last night, the hubs and I enjoyed such a lovely evening at my parents’ house in Atlanta. And Nanny herself was there with one of her famous pies.
I admit it, dear readers: I’ve been holding out on you.
I’ve been saving some of the best of the best recipes in my family . . . saving them for a rainy day. Well, I’m not sure whether you’ve heard, but it’s raining buckets here in drought-ridden North Georgia, so it’s about time for me to share one of these precious gems with you all!
Okay, so I know that I’ve already given you the pretty much perfect, authentically tart and delicious key lime pie recipe, but let’s be honest. Don’t you get a hankering for this stuff even at times when key limes might not be in season? I know I do. Not to mention the fact that I can only really talk the husband into juicing 30 key limes about once a year or else I start to push my wonderful prep chef to his limits . . . So I decided to celebrate this time of year when summer is coming to an end with a super easy “real simple” key lime pie recipe.
