What do I do when I feel a little better? I bake and cook.
Today I made meatballs and a pie.
I am Freezing the meatballs for another time and because I wanted something sweet but easy to make I made a coconut cream as easy as one two three pie.
Both were a breeze for me to make and I like having my own homemade meatballs handy to grab for sauces and soups.
The pie was a second thought. The other day at the grocery store I decided to pick up a graham cracker pie shell. I had nothing in mind to make but today it hit me that I had all the ingredients to make a quick pie and also that my milk was about to expire tomorrow. I try really hard not to waste so that's how this easy as one two three coconut cream pie came to be.
Quite honestly I try most times to make my own custard or pudding from scratch. It really is the best but sometimes you have to go for easy and quick and this was the solution. Enjoy! Make a pie!!!
