ReplyDeleteI was so glad to hear that you also loved Screen Doors and Sweet Tea too. It really is a fun book with lots of great stories and recipes.
ReplyDeleteYour mom's fudge pie looks like a great way to start the day.
I love pie for breakfast! My favorite is a slice of cold pumpkin pie with a cup of coffee on the day after Thanksgiving. Heavenly!

I love this recipe, but I use a chocolate crumb crust! It really makes a difference
ReplyDeleteJennifurla - yes ma'am. It was a sinful day all starting with that pie...
ReplyDeleteThomas - so glad you remember this pie! She still makes it often.
Kim - I love that you find Screen Doors as enjoyable as I do. One of my pipe dreams is to take a road trip and go to Martha's cooking school for a day. Would be incredible!
Heidi - I'm with you. I actually believe pumpkin pie is a healthy way to start the day. It's got fiber, right?
Jenn - Same here. Which is why I now have to ban this pie from my house for a little while...
Diana - I wish I could send you some! I wonder how it would hold up in the mail...
Brownieville Girl - yes it is:)
