Post-Thanksgiving Vinegar Chess Pie



I hit that terrifying point after Thanksgiving when you realize the pie is gone. So I made more! It's been a while since I made a Vinegar Chess Pie, and I was craving those flavors. Plus, the ingredients are staples I've almost always got on hand. Hooray, my husband and I have more pie to eat when we watch TV after the kids go to bed at night! Now I'm doing some serious planning for our yearly Austrian Christmas party. There will be at least four pies. Oh the possibilities!

Current Pie Tally: 233

Black-Bottom Banana Cream Duo



I made two Black-Bottom Banana Cream Pies for Thanksgiving week. I really had to work some magic to fit all that heavy cream in my refrigerator. My oldest son had a Thanksgiving classroom feast on the Tuesday before Turkey Day, so I made one pie for that. And the second was made as a result of popular vote. The kids wanted Banana Cream for Thanksgiving, so that's what we had. Both pies came out great. I put the whipped cream on top of the first pie moments before I dropped it off, and I "frosted" the second pie as we sliced it to order. Recipe can be found here. My only substitution is that I used plain graham crackers for the crust instead of chocolate.
