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...

Egg Custard Pie

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 00:58:12 +0000

Egg Custard Pie only requires one mixing bowl and makes its own crust. This post was originally published April 20, 2011. I updated the photos and made a minor adjustment to the recipe.

Rustic Tomato Pie

Rustic Tomato Pie is a free-formed butter crust with an herb goat cheese filling topped with fresh sliced tomatoes. If I had to consider the rest of my life without homegrown tomatoes, I suppose I would survive. I didn’t say I’d be happy about it. And, I don’t think I’d ever stop thinking about...

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...

One summer, in the mid 1960s during one of my visits to my grandparent’s house in Alabama, my aunt from Baton Rouge came for a visit, also. My Aunt Ellen was my mother’s only sister.
