I have another simple recipe for you today that can be in a variety of flavors.

I have called this recipe the strawberry cool whip pie, but it can actually be any flavor you want, as long as there is a jello flavor for it. Today, I can tell you how to make the 5 ingredient pie, and also the three ingredient pie crust. For the pie:

                  Ingredients for pie

  • One 3 ounce package Gelatin (any flavor)
  • 3 cups cool whip
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • ice cubes
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
As you may have noticed, 3 of the 5 ingredients today are water, so this recipe is fairly cheap in price. To make the pie filling, do this:

When the mixture is combined, place it in the fridge for about 20 minutes. The filling will be a little thicker when you pull it back out. While the filling is in the fridge, you could make the crust. Here's what you need:
               Ingredients for crust
  • graham crackers (about 5 ounces or one sleeve), crushed
  • 1 stick margarine
  • 1/2 cup sugar
Now do this to make the crust:

 The crust is ready! Once the gelatin mixture is done sitting in the fridge, spoon it into the crust and spread it out evenly.

So there it is, a simple pie recipe that only requires time to sit and very little manual labor. Hope you liked this recipe, and if you have any comments, leave them below or on Facebook.

Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe. Click the image to enlarge. There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Saturday Sweetly

Every Saturday there is the task of cooking the yummies for the weekend. Sometimes it will be a savory meal, like pasta salad, and sometimes it will be the sweets, like cheesecake or pies. However, every week I try to find time to help Mom cook in the kitchen, at least for an hour or so. I helped her today with the sweets for the weekend, and every Saturday I help I will share the recipe(s) of the day. Today, we made a peach pie with a crumble topping, and some home made zucchini quick bread. We started with the pie, because it could cook while we prepared the bread. For the pie all you need is a pie shell and peach pie filling, and for the crumble topping all you need is one stick of butter (1/2 cup), a package of graham crackers, and 1/2 cup of sugar. You can either place the pie filling in the pie, then work on the crumble, or vice versa. Just make sure to preheat your oven to 425ºF. (We made the crumble first.) To make the crumble, you Read More...
