I have several friends asking for good recipes, and I never recommend one without trying it first! I plan to add several of my own tried and true recipes, but hope to add many more that will become part of my regular menus while I am testing them out for my friends :o)

Coconut Cream Pie

The picture doesn't look the best, but it tastes so yummy!

Geno seems to be craving cream pies lately. He wanted to try a couple from the freezer section of the store, and it just didn't quite taste right to me. We always seem to forget about dessert when we have company, so Geno was going to grab a chocolate cream pie from the store. I told him I would "make" (I hesitate to use that term!) it, but he was worried about how little time I had to fix it.


Oh ye of little faith...


Get a pie crust, bake, cool. Mix pudding, pour into crust, cool. Put whipped topping on before serving. (If you have time and want it to look nice, put the whipped topping on and allow it time to cool and set.)


He is hooked :o)

We had a fun conversation: Graham cracker crust or regular crust? Chocolate cream or coconut cream? Whipped topping or meringue?


We had the same three answers.


A match made in Heaven ;o)
