My daughter,
kindly told me,
that I do not post enough recipes on the blog.
She might of
thrown in something about being a fabulous cook.
I told her
that she has me mixed up with somebody else.
Everything I
have learned about cooking,
is from the
women in my life.
My mother,
my SIL,
my MIL,
Grandma
Rosie,
a few women who worked at a place called the Sheep Camp Restaurant,
one lady
especially,
Joyce,
taught me everything
I needed to know about baking.
And then
there were the two sisters,
Carmella and
Anna,
who not only
peaked my interest in cooking and baking,
but peaked
my interest in entertaining guests with food.
I wanted to
be just like them when I grew up.
I need to
include Martha Stewart
on this
list.
I don't
think I ever missed one of her shows, magazines, or books.
A few years
ago,
I worked at
a tiny little restaurant in Phoenix,
Ruby Beets.
It was owned
by a lady named Karen,
she was an
ER nurse,
who decided
to attend culinary school in Phoenix.
This woman
knew what food should taste like.
She had a
knack for making everything taste divine.
Thank you to
all the great CHEFS in my life.
Since this
is the LOVE month,
you must
make this pie for your VALENTINE.
It is a
simple pie to make,
but so
good...
Cherry Cream
Cheese Pie
1 8 ounce
package of cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup of
powdered sugar
lemon juice
from 1 whole lemon
1 carton of
whipping cream (1/2 pint)
1/4 cup
powdered sugar
1 baked pie
crust
1 can cherry
pie filling
In a stand
mixer,
beat the
whip cream and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until
you have
soft to medium peaks.
Set aside in
a large bowl.
In the same
bowl that you beat the whip cream in,
(you do not
have to wash the bowl)
add the
cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and
the lemon
juice.
Beat this
mixture until fluffy.
Fold this
mixture into the whipping cream mixture
until
blended.
Do not beat
this mixture.
Put in your
baked pie crust and top with
the can of
cherry pie filling.
Refrigerate
before serving.
Happy
Valentine's Day,
Petie
