Lemon Lime Cheesecake Pie........Oh My!

Wow, Lemon Lime?, we love that in Texas. Cheesecake?, we love that in Texas. Pie?, we love that in Texas too.
So........ we certainly love Lemon Lime Cheesecake Pie.

I just posted the link to this incredible recipe. I just need to figure out a way to make it a Margarita Lemon Lime Cheesecake Pie! And that may just take one or two more ingredients! I know I can do that.
Because the Margarita is the state drink of Texas.

Busy week for me.

It's been a very busy and creative week for me. I've been away from the blog and won't get back for a few more days. I'm working on a collection of very iconic Texas recipes........ more to come!

Tartar Sauce

I only serve homemade Tartar Sauce.
I never thought about posting a recipe for Tartar Sauce, but there's always a request for a recipe that you never think anyone needs.

This I the recipe I use.

Homemade Tartar Sauce:

1 C Hellman's Real Mayonnaise
1 TBS Sweet Pickle Relish

A splash of Fresh Lemon Juice.


Combine all, mix well in a jar and refrigerate until completely chilled.

Enjoy!

No Bake Lucky Charm Cake!......... or as I would call it, a really cool snack for kids!

Crock Pot Parmesan Cheese Grits baked in a Pie Pan

This may sound complicated, but it's really not, or maybe it is to some people, but well worth it if you like Grits. The Basic Grits are cooked overnight in a Slow Cooker. They are mixed with a variety of ingredients and baked in a Pie Pan.
Texans love Grits, well, most of us do.
I have several Grits recipes on the Blog. Someday I'll create a Grits page with a collection of the recipes.

Slow Cooker Parmesan Grits baked in a Pie Pan

Prepare the grits in a 5 quart Slow Cooker and cook overnight.

2 C Stone Ground Grits
8 TBS Butter (1 stick) melted
1 TBS Salt
6 C Water

Pour all of the ingredients into the cooker and mix well.
Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours.


When the grits are cooked, here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
1 - 10" Pie Pan or 1 - 9" Deep Dish Pie Pan, sprayed with a Non Stick Cooking Spray.

In a large mixing bowl:
4 C of the Grits
1 C of your favorite Marinara Sauce
1/2 C Grated Parmesan Cheese
3 Large Eggs, beaten.
Whisk well.
Spread evenly in the Pie Pan

Bake 60 minutes.

I eat them with Fried Eggs and Vegetarian Bacon.

Enjoy!
