Let me know which recipes you would like posted, and I will post them for you!

Gotta get back to my cleaning and cooking!

Easy as Pie

Pies are not easy to make.  But this one is, because it involves using a frozen crust (shhhh, did I just say that????).

Chocolate Chip Pie is like eating warm cookie dough in a pie shell.

1 nine inch pie crust (frozen), NOT BAKED
1 stick of butter, melted
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup of flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup of chocolate chips.

Preheat oven to 325

Pour all ingredients into a bowl (except for the pie shell).  Stir.  Pour into pie shell.  Put onto baking pan, and into oven for about 55 minutes.

Cool, but not all the way.

Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream!
