A Old School Buttermilk Pie To Die For!

 Now that Fall is here, that's usually the time a lot of baking goes down. 

I can just smell the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and all kinds of spices in the air. 

I remember a time when my grandma and mother would get together around the holidays and bake up a fierce storm, the aroma spices filled the house, fighting over who's going to lick the spoon or get the cake bowl. Wonderful memories, that was such an amazing time during my childhood. Speaking of memories, a friend of mine named Kim aka This Housewife shared a recipe with me and one of her memories of eating good food that the church ladies cooked and served from the trunk of their cars.

About a week or two ago Kim uploaded a video on her YouTube channel (This Housewife) of a Buttermilk Pie. The recipe is very simple to make, before we get into that let me share how she came across this recipe.

Me: What's the story behind this Old School Buttermilk recipe?

Kim (This Housewife): I got the recipe in one of those old school church cookbooks, I was cleaning up and saw the cookbook and started looking through it and saw the buttermilk recipe. It instantly reminded me of my days growing up in the church, in the south we would have tent revivals and the mother of the church would be serving food out of the trunks of their cars in the church yard. The food would be amazing!

So I got in my kitchen and made it and after it cooled in the fridge for a few hours my folks dived on it like they just got out of prison it was gone that same day.

I told someone in the comments on the video that it tasted like an old fashioned, sin killing, devil chasing , Holy Ghost filled tent revival 😍.

Well there you have it, the history behind that delicious Old School Buttermilk Pie.

Head over to her channel and snatch up that recipe and since the weather is cooling off, make a few pies for your family and friends. 

Make sure to follow her on IG:(This_Housewife) and tell her PhoneJones sent you.

I would like to thank my girl Kim (This Housewife) for sharing this recipe and allowing me to write about it on my blog. 

Please share this with family, friends, etc. 

Until next time....See Yah Later!

Quarantine & Cook: Meal Suggestions

Hey Friends,

Today I'm going to give you some suggestions on what to cook and how to stretch your meals.

Right now we're all living this new quarantine life, and for some people it can be challenging.  

Let's talk food! 
Are you tired of cooking the same meals?

If so, now is the time to get creative!

Depending on the size of your family, you can make meals that can last at least 2 days.

Pasta: It doesn't matter if it's spaghetti, baked ziti, lasagna, etc. These meals can be made in large pans and will last a few days, all you need as sides are salad and garlic bread.

Stews: You could never go wrong with a nice pot of beef/chicken stew, with potatoes, carrots, celery, sweet peppers over some yellow or white rice. 

Tacos: Who doesn't love tacos?! All you need is some ground meat, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cheese and if you want it to really be hearty add corn or beans.

What about the days you don't feel like cooking? 

You could always go to the supermarket and get a few frozen pizzas and some wings.

During these times, you have to get creative and search for recipes online, you'll definitely find some that you might want to try.

I hope this helps some of you and if you have any questions, comment below. 

Hearty Beans Meal

Great recipe for those cold days!

Thanks for watching!

Cooking With Less Salt

There are a lot of ways to bring out the flavor in your meat. It's all about how you do it!

Let's say you want to make a pan of baked chicken for Sunday day (yummy) ok all you have to do is clean your chicken...cut up some onions, chop up some garlic or use minced garlic in the jar. 

Rub the garlic on the chicken, place it in a zip lock bag and add the onions, let it marinate over night.
(pepper is optional)

Just by using those two things will give your chicken a great taste and you could also do this for beef as well or your choice of meat.


Here are some other options:

Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Fresh Garlic
Fresh Onion
Scallions
Broth (chicken or beef) diluted with a 1/2 cup of water
Teaspoon of Adobo

Remember you are eating to live and be healthy with complications!

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

This chicken soup recipe is great for those freezing cold months. Nothing soothes the soul like a good chicken soup recipe!

When I make my chicken soup, I like to use either chicken legs (skinless) or chicken thighs (skinless). 

What's Needed

1. 1-2 bags of skinless chicken thighs (I buy mine from Walmart the Great Value brand)

4. 1 bag of baby carrots
5. 1 bag of Muellers wide egg noodles (optional)
6. A nice big pot to hold all of the goodness  

Let's Cook!

Make sure your pot is nice and clean and put to the side.

Clean your chicken thighs thoroughly.

Add chicken thighs to your pot.

Grab your seasonings and season those thighs!

Pour the 1st box of chicken broth in your pot, 

make sure the broth covers the thighs..if it doesn't add half of the 2nd box.

Turn on your stove to a medium fire and cook all that goodness together.

(Make sure the chicken is very tender and cooked through before adding other ingredients)

The Noodles 

Cook your noodles in a separate pot.

Half cook the noodles and set aside.

The Carrots

Make sure they are washed and set aside.

The Soup

You're chicken should cooked and ready for the rest of the ingredients.

Add the carrots and more broth.

Cook the carrots until they are tender.

Give it a good stir..taste..ENJOY!
