Welcome to my Blog!


I am so glad you stopped by. A couple of months ago I saw the movie Julie & Julia, where a young woman decides to take a year and make every recipe in Julia Child's French Cookbook. I enjoyed the movie very much and became intrigued. Maybe I could do something like that, so, I got out my barely used, 13 year old, Better Homes Cookbook and started flipping through. Thus began my cooking experiment.

Cooking is something I have always hated to do, it was a chore for me, not a pleasure. I am not a professional cook, and never will be, but the movie ignited a spark in me and revealed a new discovery, cooking can be fun!

I am learning that with patience, motivation, and good recipes anyone can be a good cook. Believe me, if I can do it, so can you! I hope you will experiment along with me and let me know what you think of the recipes I share.

I will post each new recipe I try along with a picture (I can't stand cookbooks that don't include pictures!) so you can see the final product. I will also share tips that I have learned along the way. For you seasoned chefs, the tips may seem like common sense, but for those of us who are dummies in the kitchen, they are epiphanies.

Happy Cooking!

Blueberry Meadows Delicious Blueberry Pie


We live on a blueberry farm, so my mother-in-law has passed down several amazing blueberry recipes.  This is my favorite pie recipe.  I had never had a cold blueberry pie before I met my mother-in-law, and I actually like it better than a warm pie.  You can use fresh berries or frozen for this recipe.


    Ingredients
  • Baked 9" pie shell or graham cracker crust
    3/4 cups sugar
    3 tbs corn starch
    1/8 tsp salt
    1/4 cup water
    4 cups blueberries
    1 tbs butter
    1tbs lemon juice
    whipped cream

Directions


  • Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in saucepan.  Add water and 2 cups blueberries.  Cook over medium heat, stirring until mixture comes to a boil and is thick and clear.  Mixture will be quite thick.
  • Remove from heat and stir in butter and lemon juice.
  • Cool.
  • Stir in remaining berries.
  • Pour into a pie shell and cover with whipped cream.  Chill and serve.
