Merry Christmas Y'all

 

God has blessed us with a great year!

The old farm place in Noxubee county was hit by a tornado back in April and completely wiped out. We went through a tough transition but God is merciful and we are doing well.

Honey has had problems with his sugar but after diet adjustments and prayer he is feeling much better.

I am feeling better than ever before. My headaches are very few this day in time after giving up caffeine and the use of saccharine.

Our kids are doing great the grand-children are growing up and changing every day which is bitter sweet but we wouldn't have it any other way.

REMEMBER friends, in spite of all that is going on in our world today GOD IS STILL GOD AND HE CAME TO SAVE THE WORLD! John 3:17

Merry Christmas Y'all and thanks for stopping by. Please come again soon!

Minny's Chocolate Pie

Since 'The Help" first hit the big screen I have been making a few of the recipes taken from the show. We moved to Greenwood at the beginning of the shooting of "The Help" and I was obsessed. I loved the book and read anything else I could find on the web relating to it. Somewhere I came across a blog with recipes from the movie and this one quickly became one of our favorites and NO I do not add the secret ingredient!

So I wanted to share with you:

Minny's Chocolate Pie

Ingredients:

1 packaged pie dough crust, such as Pillsbury
1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
3 tablespoon(s) unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup(s) evaporated milk
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Ease the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively. Prick the crust lightly with a fork. Line the crust with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes or until set. Remove the foil and weights and bake for about 5 minutes longer, just until the crust is dry but not browned.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the sugar with the cocoa powder, butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake for about 45 minutes, until the filling is set around the edges but a little jiggly in the center. Cover the crust with strips of foil halfway through baking.

Transfer the pie to a rack and let cool completely before cutting into wedges. You can serve with whipped cream if you like.

The pie will puff up but sink down as it cools.


Try it y'all you'll love it!
