I shouldn't get excited until the pies are cut and tasted...but even THIS much was an achievement for me. It happened because our Bible study group is going to have a "finished-our-book" party tomorrow evening. I double booked myself and will be at the lake, but one of the gals requested sugar cream pie, so I volunteered. Since I'm also responsible for meals at the lake, I baked two.I also made barbecue beef in the crock pot. It slow-cooked overnight. I kept waking up during the night, nudged by the delicious scent wafting upstairs from the kitchen! Yesterday I baked some whole wheat zucchini muffins, hard boiled some eggs, made Asian cabbage slaw, and whipped up my sister-in-law's recipe of chicken/rice salad. I don't remember being this busy in the kitchen in a l-o-n-g time. And for the most part, I actually enjoyed it.
I just love baking and cooking. This all sounded so delightful and delectable...but, sniff, where are the wonderful recipes to go with the food?

Marcy, I guess that will have to go with my NEW blog! If the sugar cream pie is good, I'll pass it on. It was made with milk, whipping cream, and NO eggs. I got it off the 'net.
ReplyDeleteYou really were busy in the kitchen Rebecca...your pies look delicious and since I had a small breakfast, they made me hungry
ReplyDelete...have a fun time at the lake!
Wanda
I love to cook.
ReplyDeleteDenise, do you cook for hire?? :) Maybe I could employ you for my "serious" cooking!
ReplyDeleteWanda, I hope you found something healthy to eat and are no longer hungry. I am looking forward to lake time. This is a huge treat for me.
Oh my...everything sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time ;D
blessings,

Everything sounds wonderful, Rebecca, and if the pies taste as good as they look everyone will be very happy!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time at the lake!
I think you should do whatever you feel like, Rebecca, on any given day.
Some days I don't have the time to reply and some days I do, I think people understand. If I reply to one I try to reply to all, but some days that's just not possible.
Take care.
Enjoy!
Hi Rebecca, all that sounds so yummy. I would love to have you guest blog on our family cooking blog. I am sorry you were double booked and are not able to enjoy your Bible study get together.
ReplyDeleteNow that is impressive! It has been years and years since I cooked and baked like that--if ever. Way to go! Your pies look delicious! Have a wonderful time at the lake. It is okay to put recipes on this blog. I am quite sure that food for life and godliness fits quite well here.
ReplyDeleteEveryone on the blog knows that I dislike baking and cooking anymore, although I love making soups. But I wouldn't mind the reciepe for the pie Rebecca, it looks really good!
ReplyDeleteThere's such a feeling of achievement when you've had a baking day isn't there!
ReplyDeleteThe pies look fabulous.
Hi, What a treat your bible study group has waiting for them...yum...! I also like the stain on your porch. As for comments...it is what is easiest for you. I like either way. It may take awhile for some followers to get use to it. I am so pleased to say i haven't had any more trouble commenting on your blog. Dee
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your fun day in the kitchen. Not everyone understands that! I'll be anxious to hear the reviews on your pies. I LOVE baking pies -- I just can't "afford" to do it too often, calorie-wise! I've never heard of sugar cream pie...but it sounds and looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I had sugar pie for the first time ever when I was home, it was a piece of heaven. Yours look so good, makes me want to bake one but alas being a diabetic I can only treat myself with something like this once a year. Really enjoy being back and able to enjoy your wonderful post again my friend. I wish you and your family a wonderful weekend....:-) Hugs
