No Bake Peanut Butter and Crackers Pie

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 05 Jul 2017 22:27:04 +0000

A long time favorite snack for me is peanut butter and Ritz crackers. Peanut butter is good with any sort of crackers, but I favor Ritz. It seemed right natural to combine the two in a no bake pie. For a real peanut-butter-and-crackery flavor to come through in this No Bake Peanut Butter and Crackers...

Rustic Peach Pie

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 25 Jul 2014 14:30:05 +0000

Simple reduces stress. That statement is simple and powerful. Can I get an amen? Simplifying our lives is a way to weed out stress. Simple to me means wild flowers instead of roses, clothesline dried clothes instead of machine dried, quick suppers instead of complicated dinners. Simplicity is what draws me to rustic. Anything rustic:...

Blueberry Slab Pie

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:48:53 +0000

My 4-year-old granddaughter put in an order for a “pie made just from blue-blerries”. Our berries aren’t quite ripe so I thought I would make her a pie now with frozen berries and another with fresh berries later. Of course, it’s doubtful enough of our blue-blerries can make it past the mouths of two 4...

Southern Buttermilk Pie

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:27:00 +0000

This pie represents two things I dearly love: nostalgia and buttermilk. For nostalgia’s sake, I frequently peruse Southern Cooking, Mrs. Henrietta Dull’s 1928 published cookbook. As far as buttermilk goes, it’s one of the most important food items in the kitchen. I’m on a quest to highlight its importance as much as possible. The style of...
