The Best Coconut Cream Pie

"This old-fashioned pie is filled with rich, creamy custard, then capped with a cloud of toasted meringue and a generous sprinkling of sweet coconut flakes. It tastes as if you pulled it straight from the dessert case of your favorite diner, only better."  Comment from Food Network

Coconut Cream Pie is one of my favorite pies and I used to make it all the time.  My recipe is somewhere in my files and I will post when I find it.  Food Network's recipe should be outstanding as most of them are.

Are you ready for Thanksgiving?

Once again, the holidays have crept up on us!  It seems as though we just experienced the ball come down on New Years Eve.  If you are like us, you are not ready for Thanksgiving!

This year, The Captain and I will be hosting our own Thanksgiving festivities.  We are actually very excited to cook all of our favorite dishes, along with some new ones.

Join us in researching the possibilities for new ideas and recipes for this holiday season.  The following list is a work in progress that I will continue adding links throughout the season.

Please refresh page if you are returning, so the new links will show up!

Happy planning!
