When I think of Egg Custard, I think of pure comfort for the body and soul. The custard is smooth and silky with a wonderful fresh flavor and a hint of nutmeg. When I take my first bite of this pie, it takes me right back to my Grandmothers kitchen. It was always one of my favorites.

  Lemon Pudding Pie, is the easiest pie to make and takes very few ingredients. The pie is so creamy and very flavorful with a fresh lemon flavor.

We have had a bumper crop of blueberries so this is a perfect recipe to use the harvest of the berries.

An Old Fashioned Blueberry Crisp is so easy to put together and the flavor is always spot on. I remember my Grandmother coming to her kitchen with a little pale of blueberries that she just picked from her orchard. That night there would be a beautiful crisp coming out of the oven, and I could hardly wait to have a serving of the crisp. This is a very simple recipe that can be served for  any occasion. This is one of our favorite fruit desserts.

It is one of our go to pies here at the cottage and I sure hope you enjoy it!

One of my favorite treats from our drug store fountain when I was a young girl was a Cherry Coke Float. I loved watching the clerk load the ice cream into the glass and pour the syrup in the glass then add the bubbles, it was so good!

This is such an easy pie recipe to make and it is one that I can just keep in the freezer ready to share with an unexpected guest, your friends and family will love you for serving this cool and refreshing treat.

  Retro Pumpkin Marshmallow Pie was first made by my Aunt back in the late 40's and early 50's. She was a wonderful cook and always brought the most delicious dishes to family gatherings. When she passed away her son gave me many of her old recipes and that is where my daughter Robbin and I found this retro recipe. We have made a few changes but the base of the recipe remains the same. One thing for sure that didn't change is the amazing flavor with the most silky filling. I am so happy that we found the recipe, it sure brings back lots of great memories and we made new memories as we made it together.

  There is always something special about a family recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation. Our Old Fashioned Apple Crisp is a family recipe that was handed down from my Grandmother to my Mother and then on to me. It is interesting about this time of the year I start getting calls for the apple crisp recipe. I decided to publish it on the blog and that way the whole family will always have it. This recipe is very simple with delicious spices and the great flavor of a blend of apple's making it very special.

Our Pink Lemonade Ice Box Pie is a beautiful pink pie, so cool and refreshing. This is one of those recipes  that can show up and be the star of any event.

Nana's Maple Pie, is a creamy bite of something you can't put down until there are no more bites. I started making this pie in my early homemaking days and ya'll that has been a very long time ago. Along the way it became Nana's Maple Pie. This is a very old fashioned from scratch recipe that I have brought up to date with just a few convenient product changes. A family member who had been quarantined for sometime recently told me, "if I could just have some of Nana's Maple Pie, it would sure make it better." So this is for all of you who may have been stuck in your house to long, and I sure hope it makes it better!

  When I got this recipe, I thought it was a very unusual pecan pie recipe. It  reminded me of some of the recipes that had come out of the depression years. I knew right away that I would have to try the recipe. A few years ago, Cece, my friend of over 30 years, moved to a lovely area named Pecan Plantation. Every year she has so many pecans that she is kind enough to share with me. This year she sent me some pecans along with a recipe she wanted me to try. She has given me permission to share it with all of you. I added to the recipe in a couple of places and dressed it up a little, this pie is so easy to prepare and absolutely delicious! 

When I was a young girl I remember going to the orchard with my Grandmother to gather fresh peaches. I still remember the wonderful fresh smell of the peaches  as we would gather them into the basket. Then back in my Grandmothers kitchen she would make the most delicious peach crisp, oh my goodness the smell of that crisp. Then that first bite of crisp just out of the oven, my Granmother would pour a little fresh cream from the morning's milking onto the crisp. Thinking back on it now, it was a little piece of heaven. This is the recipe that has been passed down to me through the years and although it didn't come out of my Grandmothers wood burning stove, it is still a delicious recipe!

Our Cherry Cheese Tartlet Dessert is a very easy dessert recipe to make and it is just delicious. It is the perfect little dessert to complete a special meal, a ladies luncheon, or tea. When I set the tarlets in the refrigerator and my husband spots them, I know that there will be a least 2 missing, so I always make just a litte more. This is one of those great go to recipes that I use over and over.

My Tropical Lime Freeze Pie is "that" pie sitting in the freezer just waiting for that unexpected guest or for a dessert on a busy day. This is a perfect dessert on a very hot day, it will really cool you down in a very sweet way!  This pie is very easy to put together and the recipe makes two pies for you to have in your freezer. Our family loves tropical flavors so this is a big hit with our group. 

These are very special Mini Fruit Tarts that can come to any party. They will be great for a dessert buffet,a shower, a special luncheon or just a fun night for the family. A perfect one or two bites and they are so easy to make. The crisp little tart shell is filled with a very creamy filling and topped with delicious fresh fruit. They do come with a warning, just slightly additive, we usually can't stop with just one or two, they are just so good!
