Chocolate Cream Pie (with sweetened condensed milk)

This has become my favorite "go to" chocolate pie. As soon as I saw that this used sweetened condensed milk I knew that I had to give it a try. I expected it to be very sweet but it's not. It's just the perfect amount of chocolate and sweetness. What I love about this recipe is that it's just so easy and fairly inexpensive to make. You just use cocoa....no expensive chocolate, no chopping chocolate etc. You can use a store bought pie shell and just bake it according to the directions or use your own recipe. I think next time I make this I will make a graham cracker crust. Think it would be great with this pie. This has been a tough winter for me so far. This past month I have caught bug after bug and now to top it all off it looks like I may have torn a tendon in my left shoulder. At least it's the left and not the right. Going in for an MRI tomorrow and I am one claustrophobic person. I work in a hospital so I know ...

Condensed Milk Pound Cake

Well we've had quite a bit more snow here and this is definitely not any fun. I guess the Farmer's Almanac was right - we are having a hard winter. But really...enough is enough. Now I know why when people get older they move to warmer climates. I'm at the point where I don't even care about the change of seasons anymore...just give me warm weather every day!!!! At least the schools here are closed tomorrow due to teacher's conferences so they don't have to use up another snow day. Would you believe they are already forecasting that we may have more snow next weekend????? I don't even want to think about that. I'll tell you this though - I will be better prepared for whatever it is I decide to bake....I had no eggs or sugar this weekend! That's right. How in the world do you run out of sugar? That to me is like running out of salt.....doesn't happen often. Of course I had already started 2 recipes and wasted a ton of ingredients before I realized...

Apple Cake from Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook

Several years ago during the Christmas season Tate's Bake Shop (on Long Island) sent their cookbook to many food bloggers, I being one of them. The recipes are very straightforward which is what I love. Nothing tricky. No exotic ingredients to be used only one time, etc. Just wonderful and tasty sweets and treats! This recipe comes from that book and I highly recommend it! I had been up at Graves Mountain in Syria, Virginia this past weekend and we brought back a bushel of apples. Needless to say, I will be doing plenty of baking in the next few weeks using apples. This recipe caught my eye since it uses 8 cups of apple slices. Whew! That's a lot of apples in a cake. I hope you give this recipe a try. It is very moist and extremely delicious! Recipe from Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook 2 1/4 cups sugar 2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 1/4 tsp salt 3 large eggs 3/4 cup vegetable oil 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 8 cups apples, slic...
