Awards and National Pie Day

It's National Pie Day, see the bottom of this post for all the details.

My good blogging friend Shannon from Paint Mine Pink gave me this great award! Thanks so much Shannon, I think you are very amazing. I know I have sent you guys over to Shannon's blog before but do yourself a huge favor and go and visit her today. She makes the prettiest things and I just plain love her blog. Thanks Shannon!
And my other good blogging buddy Tammy took pity on me the other day when I did this post , whining about aging. Thanks so much Tammy for taking pity on this Grandma. I love the name of this Young at Heart award, that's what we all should be. And I'm passing this on to all the gals who felt like I did in that post, in your mind you are still young but sometimes when you look in the mirror there's a strange older lady looking back at you. LOL

Okay now on to the pie part of this post. Tammy tells me that today is National Pie Day. I'll celebrate any day that has some kind of sweet involved. So in honor of National Pie Day I am sharing this Paula Deen (who else would I choose LOL) recipe. This is in her Christmas Cookbook. It says it's a Christmas Pie but I think it should be made all year long.

Christmas Nut Pie

1/2 cup of butter, melted

1 cup of sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1/2 flaked coconut

1/2 cup of raisins

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 unbaked piecrust, fitted into a 9 inch metal pie plate

1) Preheat the oven to 350

2) Mix the butter, sugar, salt, eggs, vinegar, coconut, raisins, walnuts, and vanilla together in a large bowl until well blended. Pour into the piecrust and bake for 40 to 50 minutes.

Anything with coconut has to be good. Have a wonderful Wednesday! I'm spending part of the day with my favorite little girl (my granddaughter) so I know it'll be a fun time.
