Bisquick Easy Impossibly coconut pie

I wanted to bake yesterday and I had these ingredients handy so it was a first try using Bisquick.  
Recipe on bottom of page. ⬇️

Enjoy!

I love my original impossible Coconut pie .  It’s my favorite but this recipe was very good as well.
I’d rate it a 5*****
I think the trick to my first recipe was it made totally in a blender and it was so smooth of a creamy custard.

The second I just whisked the ingredients and I used the Bisquick mixture.

Both good but the first is my favorite.

I followed directions to the tee.  

The top recipe at the top browned nicely which looked really beautiful and presented really nice.

This recipe not so much but it definitely was good and sweet too.

Hot dogs, fried potatoes and beans

We don’t eat hotdogs very often, but when we do, I prefer them to be served with fried potatoes.

Simple but tasty meal you can serve as is or add a salad or rolls.  This will serve two!

4 all beef hot dogs Cut in small pieces
Two large potatoes, skinned, and cut in medium slices
Vegetable oil, salt, and pepper and onion powder.

Baked beans cook separately 

In a large pan place a little vegetable oil. When oil is heated, add washed and skin potatoes, Salt, pepper and onion powder. You can use fresh onion, if desired, sliced thin.
Fry potatoes to brown on one side, flip and fry on the other side add hotdog pieces and cook until potatoes are tender.
Serve with baked beans simple but pretty good meal we like it

Pierogi and vegetables with brown butter

It’s always nice to be able to put a meal together without  a particular recipe to follow. Just create something as I did last night and it worked out delicious.  Take a chance you may surprise yourself. I had all the below ingredients so I was pleased at the outcome. Thumbs up!

If you don’t have pierogi substitute pasta it’ll still be delicious.  Brown butter is a game changer. The flavor is awesome.





12 large frozen made from scratch potato cheese 
pierogi
Frozen vegetable mixture.( carrots,broccoli,red peppers
1stick butter
Onion and garlic powder (I didn’t measure)

 In medium to large size Dutch oven size  fill with water , add salt and bring to rapid boil.  Add frozen veggies first and bring water back to  boil and boil for approximately 3 minutes.  Add frozen pierogi and boil until
Pierogi are hot in center.  My guesstimate is 5 minutes top.

While pierogi and vegetables are cooking ,in a small pot place stick of butter on low heat.  When melted add onion and garlic powder to taste. Stir and cook on low until butter starts to show brown color. NOTE: do not burn butter!


Drain pierogi vegetables with a ladle type strainer onto a medium size platter. Spoon brown butter over them.


Ladle 👆

A vinegar olive oil based salad works greatly to complement this meal.

Enjoy!
