Peanut Butter Balls


For whatever reason the other day, I decided it was time for Peanut Butter Balls. I have only made these once before because they are so incredibly good, we will eat an entire batch in one day!
I had every good intention of bringing a batch to a meeting I was attending this particular night, but walked right out and left them in the fridge! (Sorry, J!)
Yet again, I forgot to take a picture of my "finished product" where the peanut butter balls are covered in delightfully smooth, semi-sweet chocolate.  They were divine. I do think it may be a while before I make any more though, they are just TOO sweet!!!!
These are so easy to make and even easier to eat! You can find how to make PBB's, here.

Homemade Egg Custard Pie

For Father's Day I decided to make my Daddy an Egg Custard Pie. I am not a fan of them and  for sure not a skilled baker by any means, but I figured I would try.
First, I prepared my made-from-scratch crust. Oh yes, I went all out. :) It was actually very easy!!!  All of the kneading I found very therapeutic!!!
So, I totally failed to take a picture of my pie when it was all lovely and brown on top once it was done baking.
My Daddy loved the pie and so did the kids!!!! Find a basic recipe here. 
*Note: I didn't not have a pie crust, so I had to make my own (obviously). I omitted nutmeg because I didn't have any and added cinnamon instead. For my very first egg custard, I think it turned out well!!!
