Cinnamon Buttermilk Pie

I made this pie twice in one week - it was that good! I used Trader Joe's ready-made pie crust found in the freezer section. I discovered this recipe on www.nutmegnanny.com. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Buttermilk Pie:

4 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter – melted
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
2 teaspoon cinnamon (you can add more if you want)

Preheat oven 325 degrees

Beat eggs slightly. Add sugar and flour. Then add melted butter and mix well. Next add buttermilk, vanilla paste and cinnamon. Pour into graham shell and cook until custard is set – approximately 1 hour.

Graham Crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter – melted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all together and press into 9 inch pie plate. Pre-bake the crust 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

*If you like a firmer crust I would definitely recommend not doing a graham crust and instead using your favorite pie crust. Also, I made my pies into little tarts instead of one large 9 inch pie. Reduce cooking time by about 20 minutes if you do the same. The pies are ready when they are set but still a little jiggly. Like a pumpkin pie.

New Name: The Elusive Introvert

"I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I've got something to prove. I want to listen to my body; fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly; with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite." Unknown** Hello!

Summertime Kale Salad with Kelp Noodles

I crave this salad! The variations are limitless depending on what produce is seasonal and available. Today I had a small yellow summer squash, so I used it. Other times I might use cucumber, fresh peas (you could use frozen peas too - just rinse briefly under cold water to thaw), red pepper, tomatoes, fresh raw corn just off the cob. Here's how I made it today. Summertime Kale Salad with Kelp Noodles For the Kelp Noodles: 1 package Kelp Noodles 1 lime OR 1/2 lemon To prepare Kelp Noodles: rinse according to package directions and drain in colander. The kelp noodles are long and kind of unruly to eat, so I use a clean pair of scissors (reserved for food use only) to cut them in to smaller, easy-to-manage pieces (2 inches or so). Place the cut kelp noodles in a medium bowl and squeeze lime or lemon juice over the noodles and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the Kale Salad. For the Kale Salad: 2 bunches Lacinat...
