For many decades, Cherry Cream Cheese Pie has been a favorite no-bake recipe! It first appeared in the1960’s as Borden’s Cherry-O Cream Cheese Pie. It became extremely popular and has been ever since! But to me, my mother-in-law Ruth’s little addition to it is the best! Her little change puts it above all the rest! I don’t see it done her way anywhere! She adds…
A REAL TREAT FOR A CHEAT! It is a soft-centered brownie pie that is firm enough on the outside rim to make nice neat wedges when you cut it. I don’t like pies that make a mess when you cut them, so this one I like. Use 4 ounces of your favorite chocolate bar! If you want to be extra decadent go ahead and serve…
This is the Lemon Meringue Pie recipe that I use and love! It is not overly sweet. To me, it is just right! lt sure beats using a lemon pudding mix in a box. It tastes SO much better than a bakery lemon meringue pie too. I will admit, it does take time to make from scratch with fresh lemons, but the steps are straightforward…
A Pillsbury Bake-Off winning recipe, this is an oldie but goodie recipe that is very, very popular! I see people who have entered it in local contests and have won blue ribbons for it! It is made in 4 layers that are very easy to do. There is a vanilla cake layer on the bottom, then peaches, then a cream cheese topping that is sprinkled…
Do you like pecan pie? Do you like cheesecake? If YES, then this simple, EASY-TO-MAKE recipe that combines both is for you! It is so-oo good! SO EASY!! All you do is add layers to the pie shell! It does its magic while it bakes. I have been making this since the 1970’s when my friend Shirley first made it. She warned how rich it…
Butternut Squash is naturally sweet and it makes a wonderful pie! I like it better than Pumpkin pie! I bake the fresh butternut squash so it peels easily and then I puree it. You can use the canned or frozen squash istead if you want. Squash pie is delicious! See my steps how to make it in the slideshow below. Enjoy!
This is one of my favorite holiday pies! Apples, cranberries and walnuts go really well together! I have tried several recipes for this pie. I combined some techniques and ingredients to come up with this way that I like the best! Cooking the filling for a few minutes beforehand makes it a success every time! I like it with lowered sugar and added more cranberries…

I have several favorite apple pie recipes that I love all for different reasons and I use them all! You can find some of my other favorite apple pie recipes on my…
Canned pumpkin? No, not me. For decades now, I have opted out! Have you ever had pumpkin pie made from real pumpkins? Canned pumpkin filling is good, but using the real pumpkin tastes even better. If you never had fresh pumpkin pie, you are missing out on the real taste of pumpkin! You can use regular pumpkins, but the smaller sugar pumpkins are ideal for…
This is an oldie but goodie peach pie recipe that is the best ever! And I’ve tried a few different ones. It goes back decades, to the 1970’s. I based this recipe on a Betty Crocker one, but can’t find one like it anymore in their archives. I love Betty Crocker! They gave it in two pie pan sizes, a 9-inch and a 10-inch. I…
A NO_BAKE blueberry pie that is better than a 2-crust blueberry pie!! You make the filling on top of the stove. Add it to a baked pie crust! Voila! Better than a time-consuming 2-crust! My sister Annie gave me this great recipe. It is so good! I make this version of blueberry pie more than the baked, 2-crust version. Everyone loves it! Try it, you’ll…
“Bisquick’s Impossible Pies by Betty Crocker have been around for decades, 7 decades now, and they are extremely popular even today. They “magically” make their own crust. I have made many, many sweet and savory Betty Crocker Bisquick Impossible Pies and I love them all! They are so fast and easy to make too. This cherry one is a favorite of my husband’s. The combination…
“Chef John of Allrecipes says this is “One of the most delicious and easiest pie recipes I know.” I attest to that fact! NO mixer needed! It is SO easy and SO good! Everyone loves it! You can vary the fruit too, just keep it to 4 cups. Also pictured is a version I made of apples, peaches, strawberries and rhubarb. You can try…
“There is no other brownie pie recipe like this one! I got this in 1971 from my soon-to-be mother-in-law who loved to try new recipes. It has NO FLOUR in it and not many other ingredients either. It is a thin pie, like a torte. It is so delicious and so moist! It is not your typical brownie pie where you feel you need a…
“ ’The pie that does the impossible by making its own crust’. The Impossible Recipes by Bisquick became popular in the 1970’s and people love them. This delicious French Apple Pie recipe is from 1983 and you don’t see it anymore. I think it’s because it uses a 10-inch pie plate and those are hard to find these days. I don’t think there’s an Impossible Pie…
