Pecan Pie

Peppermint Pie

This pie is a little different but it is good! I got the recipe off the Food Network from Paula Deen....it is a great Christmas treat!

• 1 envelope plain gelatin


• 1/4 cup cold water


• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream


• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped


• 8 oz peppermint candies, softish type (*Bob's brand works best*)


• 1 chocolate cookie crust


• crushed peppermint, for garnish

Soften gelatin in water and set aside. Put 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan with candies and cook over low heat until candy melts. Add gelatin to mixture and mix well. Let cool and fold in whipped cream. Pour into crust, sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies and chill thoroughly.

*Bob's brand are sometimes harder to find, I've been able to find them at Walmart on the candy isle with the other bags of candy.

Cream Cheese Pie

I am not too much of a pie maker but this one is quick to whip up when you are short on time.

1 - 8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. sour cream
1 - 8 oz. cool whip, thawed
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix together and pour into a 9 inch baked crust or graham cracker crust. Cool in refrigerator. When ready to serve top with any pie filling or fruit.

Sweet Potato Pie

This yummy pie is my Brother Ryan's recipe. This is good to have anytime of the year. Also, make sure you use sweet potato's not yams. This pie will get a good unexpected response from those who eat it when they learn you use sweet potatoes.

2 C. Boiled Sweet Potatoes
1 Can sweetened condensed milk
1 TBS or 1 Pod of Vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1 C sugar
1 cube of butter

Mix ingredients together with hot sweet potatoes. Pour into pie crust. Bake at 350* for 30 min
