A
message from Adrianne:
Hi, I
wanted to share some of my family’s favorite recipes with you.
For those of you with a sweet tooth and lots of those fun parties
where you’re invited to bring a favorite dish, you might want to
try this yummy dessert. COTTAGE CHEESE PIE. I know, I know, it
sounds icky, but if you love custard, then you’re gonna want more
than one piece of this pie. Second is a main dish for those crazy
nights when the whole gang shows up and you need something easy
and filling and just plain good. OVEN SPAGHETTI. It’s made with
bacon of all things. And the third is so expensive, what with the
price of crab, it’s really a special holiday dip. CRAB DUNK.
Enjoy,
Adrianne
COTTAGE CHEESE PIE
(2 - 8" Pies)
In Blender:
1 Pint of Cottage Cheese (large curd is best)
1 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
Dash Salt
1 tsp Vanilla
Mix thoroughly, then
add:
2 Eggs
1 Can Pet Evaporated Milk
Blend Until Mixed.
Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20
minutes,
then reduce heat to 375 until done (about 40 minutes) If it looks
like the
middle is still liquid, but you can stick a table knife into the
center and
it pulls out clean, the pie is done. The center will fall a bit
once it’s
out of the oven. That’s okay.
Serve with
Whipped Cream or Cool Whip.
