Welcome to Pieathalon 5! Yep, it has been five years since I began participating in this worldwide challenge – missing last year for the heart issues. But I am back and accepting the challenge from our great leader, Emily of Dinner is Served 1972. When I chose my pie recipe to contribute, I chuckled…

Lemon Pecan Pie
I must tell you this Lemon Pecan Pie is the most fabulous pie that I have eaten in a long time – it is lip-smacking, finger-licking deee-lish! We have found a new addition to our Thanksgiving table. The other night I was reading my Face Book newsfeed and a photo caught my eye taken by…
Easy Key Lime Pie
This is the easiest Key lime pie I have ever made and it tastes great to boot! I used a bag of fresh Key limes but you can use bottled Key lime juice if they are out of season or you are pressed for time. So many recipes make it hard because you have to…
Shoney’s Strawberry Pie
Do you remember visiting Shoney’s as a kid? I know there are still some around the U.S. but not nearly the number there used to be. With the slimmed down number, comes upgrades and updated looks like this (used by permission of Shoney’s). But nothing will change how excited I would get when we would…

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…
New! Recipe Index and More

Nana’s Chocolate Pie
My nana was a wonderful woman who tried like the dickens to teach me to cook, iron, crochet and any number of other domestic arts. The only one she ever succeeded in was teaching me to can fruits and vegetables from the garden. Every once in a while I decide there was something she cooked…
Kalamity Pie
As you know, I am domestically impaired. I was reading a wonderful Mennonite blog yesterday. It had a recipe for a jam tart. It sounded wonderful but, as I read the recipe I realized there were more ingredients and step involved than I was willing to participate in. But it got me thinking and it got…
