Baklava from The Pioneer Woman

Baklava always takes me back to my childhood and the Greek family friends who were our neighbors.  I was blown away the first time I had a chance to try these syrupy sweet delicacies, I had never had anything like them.

It was a treat to see The Pioneer Woman prepare this delicious pastry on the Food Network.  While it is a rather tedious process, the results are well worth it.

"This chocolate éclair dessert is a no-bake pudding dessert that's so quick and easy to make — everyone loves it! I always keep the ingredients on hand in case I need a quick dessert. It's best if it sits overnight before serving."  Comment from All Recipes

No Bake Oreo Pie

"This no-bake Oreo pie recipe is an absolute dream for cookies and cream lovers—rich, decadent, and intense. Plus, it’s super easy to make using just seven readily available ingredients. The crust holds up well despite not being baked, and the filling is creamy, light, and packed with bits of cookies for an irresistible texture."  Comment from Southern Living

This pie is made from scratch, not a instant pudding recipe.  It gets my attention when the filling contains whipping cream and cream cheese and the whole recipe calls for a family size pack of Oreos.  Delicious and sounds easy too!
