Nana’s Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie with Meringue
Today is Mother’s Day and my mom is still spry enough to care for Rocket three days per week. Heck, I am not spry enough to do that! To avoid crowds of children bringing their moms as well as parents bringing their children who just graduated (it’s graduation weekend at OU) we will avoid restarants…
Apple Enchiladas #Cincodemayo
Today is Lawyer Boy’s 27th Birthday. I met him when he was 16 and still in high school. I remember meeting him one Saturday afternoon and then the next week, I was in a Oklahoma State University Extension office and there his picture was in a green jacket. I asked the lady I was meeting…

PI Day (Pie Day) Round-Up
Today is National PI Day or Pie Day as some people call it. Most of you know how much I like pie – I like it so much that for my birthday, I have the same pie every year. Chess Pie. That’s a really old fashioned pie recipe that Nana used to make for me…

Okie Pavlova
Do y’all know what pavlova is? Well, it is a wonderful beautiful dish made with meringue, whipped cream and fresh fruit. This goes perfectly with whipped cream. I like to use a whipped cream dispenser and whipped cream chargers to whip the cream. You can get them online from Cream Charger Warehouse or other online stores….
Peach Cobbler
My Nana was such a great cook and I didn’t even give it a second thought growing up – these days I sure wish I had paid more attention to what she did. She made a wonderful cobbler. Blackberry, blueberry, cherry, apple and peach. Her cobbler crust was not exactly like pie crust and it…
Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pot Pie
I love chicken pot pie, Mr. Picky Eater? Not so much. It’s his problem with most things vegetable that cause an issue. Since we have been married, I have had chicken pot pie only when out to dinner but some nights I really just want to make it here – especially on those cold rainy…
Chess Pie
Nana made Chess pie for as far back as I can remember. It is a wonderfully scrumptious pie that is very old fashioned. I was about 10 when I decided that is what I wanted for my birthday instead of a cake. Luckily, Top Girl learned how to make it from her and…
