Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Make the crust: Mix all crust ingredients together in a small bowl. While mixture is still warm from the butter, press it evenly into the bottom of a deep-dish pie pan. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until browned. Remove piecrust from oven.

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Make the filling: Place all filling ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well with a wire whisk. Pour filling into prebaked piecrust. Bake for 15 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 350ºF. Continue to bake for an additional 50 to 55 minutes. To test for doneness, stick a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is done.

Cool and then chill before serving. To serve, top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream.

With an electric mixer on high, whip the heavy cream just until frothy. Then add in the sugar substitute and vanilla extract and continue to whip on high until peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or cream will break. Transfer to a pastry bag or just spoon onto pie.

This is my favorite mashed potato recipe.

About 3 pounds of mixed red and yellow potatoes
1 brick (8oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 stick of butter
A lot of minced garlic!

Clean, and cut the potatoes into quarters (leave the skins on!), maybe about an inch. Boil those. Meanwhile, melt the butter and dump in the garlic. Let that simmer. Drain potatoes when they're done, add the cream cheese and mash a bit with the mixer. Then mix it with the power on. Then add the garlic butter, and mix more.

The cream cheese makes it SO GOOD!

Easy easy easy... Green Bean casserole. I think this is even on the side of the can for the soup...

Two cans cream of mushroom
Two cans green beans
One can fried onions
Cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix beans and soup and put in a casserole dish. Sprinkle with onions and cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and dish is hot all the way through.

A quick pie to be made ahead of time is Pink Lemonade Pie
One packet of Kool-Aid pink lemonade
One regular size tub of Cool whip
One can of condensed sweet milk (NOT fat free)
One graham cracker crust, pre-made

Mix all together and spread in crust. Place in fridge at least one hour. Serve.

These are both tasty dishes that will free up a little of your time to spend with your family! Have a great holiday.

I have been well known for my dressing. Boil neck and innards with onion and celery. Cook a couple of ours. {About a quart and a half] ALSO IN THAT WATER ADD SAGE. HALF TABLESPOON. Also in that water add Sausage about a 1/2 to1lb depending on size of bird. Drain and put aside both to mix with stuffing mix. Meanwhile fry up 1/2 to1lb of bacon remove bacon because you only are going to use the drippings. If you like the innards run thru food processor or blender to paste. Chop sausage. Put bread stuffing in large pot or pan use broth
as liguid follow what they say for liquid but add another quarter of
a cup and add innards , sausage and bacon fat. Stir and add to bird. Spray bird with Pam and add butter on wings and legs. Cook uncovered in oven at 400 for 45 minutes to an hour baste
and cover. Follow time instructions on bird but make sure legs
are loose. At beginning after you spray season bird with paprika and onion powder and possibly sage or Bells poultry season.

Remove bird to cool. Strain juice in srainer and put in pot. Now I add a Bottle of Guiness on bird about 40 minutes before it is done. {oppitional} In a cup about 1/4 cup of of flour and parika onion powder and cold water. Add to natural juices boil on low for twenty minutes and srtain to get out lumps. Make sure you have been stirring. Before you carve remove dressing . Two impotant hints make stuffing night before. If you use a frozen bird make sure you defrost it thorouly. I went to some ones house and the turkey didn't cook after ten hours because she put it in frozen. Good luck Honey and I believe your brother will find anything you make delicious. He is home and with his loved ones.
