#ApplePie!
Easy Schmeasy Pie Crust -- and it's very low in cholesterol, too, so a Heart-Healthy Pie! WooHoo!
Make this right in the plate – no rolling! (Yippee! Your dog could make this, but always remember wash your dog's paws, first -- A Very Helpful Cooking Tip!! lol!)
1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
2 tbsp. Sugar
Quick Dash of Salt
½ cup Vegetable Oil
2 tbsp. Milk
2 tbsp. Sugar
Quick Dash of Salt
½ cup Vegetable Oil
2 tbsp. Milk
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients directly in the Pie Plate. Draw a little circle in the middle with your finger. (I can't help myself -- I always add a smiley face in the middle!)
Step 2: Pour the Oil and milk into a jar and put the lid on tightly. Give it a good shake. (This part keeps the Recipe Low in Cholesterol and much more 'Heart-Healthy' than using Lard or anything else to make the Pie Shell.)
I just use a glass, now, cover the top with your hand or some plastic wrap, and your hand - lol! Whatever works, and whatever's easiest! : )
Pour this mixture into the circle and mix it gently with a fork until completely blended. (See, there's the smiley face! lol!)
Step 3: Press the Pastry against the sides of the Pie Plate, first, then fill in the bottom.
You can Bake this at 400 degrees F. for about 15 minutes if you need a baked shell, or just go ahead and fill it with any fresh or frozen berries and bake for about 45 minutes at 350 Degrees for a Filled Pie Shell..
A really easy way to make a nice Fruit Pie is to put the prepared fruit in a bowl and stir in a Half a Cup of Flour with a Half a Cup of Sugar (mixed together), and it’ll automatically make it’s own sauce.
Blueberry Tart
Take about 2 Tablespoons of the Flour & Sugar Mixture, and shake it on the bottom of the pie shell. That'll prevent the Juices from being Runny.
I actually substituted my favorite new Barley Flour for the Regular Flour for this Pie Shell, to make it a little healthier. You can try that, too, to see if you like it. It was tasty, but I think I'll just use Regular Flour from now on...
Clean the Berries, then add in the Flour and Sugar Mixture.
Pour the Berries into the Pie Shell, and bake at 350 Degrees for about an hour. I always use an Air-Bake Cookie Sheet to prevent any Baking from burning. It'll catch any Fruit Juices that happen to bubble over, too, which will keep your Oven clean!
Since I use very little Sugar and No Topping on this Blueberry Tart (or any Tart...), it seems very reasonable to top the pie off with some nice Whip Cream!
See ya' Later, Baby! Ailsa!!
I think the key to an amazing Pie is lots of fruit - I use a whole bag of apples - or, 10 to 12 apples - yum! Omg, it smells delicious in here, right now - the Apple Crumble is almost done! Hard to believe you can lose so much weight eating The Apple Crumble Diet! Yahoo! THE Easiest Diet, evah'! : )
Peeling the Apples is a little old-fashioned - it's way healthier to leave the skins on, so-to-speak - same thing will potatoes.. the peels are very nutritious, and add a lot of fiber, so, that's great to keep them on, and saves a massive amount of time, too!
Just use the same Crumble Mix, or use the Crumble Mix from my favorite Peach Pie - which I hope you try to - oh, man, it's craaazy-delishush! lol!
This is so cool - let's say you've now been binge watching your fave shows, and you STILL have 4 more seasons left of your brand new-to-you show, soo you don't want to get up off the couch, but, also, you know you should probably get you' some groceries?
Problem - Solution! lol!
Check and see if your area is covered by either VONS or Safeway... they cover some of the same areas, and some different areas - does that make sense? lol!
I loove this Delivery Service for Groceries and whatever you might need, right to your door, just in general, but what a great idea in bad weather, no more stooopid traffic, or if you're not feeling up to going out to the store, or you just don't feeeel like going out to the store...or if you're like me, and get so caught up in whatever you're working on, and don't want to stop just 'for food' - haha! And no need for Taxis, if you need to take a cab to the grocery store...that's a huge savings, right there, right?
Wow, Grocery Delivery Service - that's fantastico!! Yippee!! Hello, Future - you look great! : )

I think this is such an amazing new service for your groceries - and anything you ever need from the grocery store - if you've ever had a time when you had a tiny baby, or you're super-busy (same thing - hahaha! All the New Moms will be laughing, now - lol!)..but if you're busy at work, or busy at home, or traffic, or you're busy binge-watching your favorite shows - hahahahaha! This might be the new wave of the future, right? Ordering your groceries online?
And I would imagine you would save a lot of money, since you would just buy what you actually need... might really work for dieting, too, since, well, if we're in the store, and be 'we', I mean 'me'...anyway, let's say I've got my grocery list, then I'm at the store, and I think, you know what, I'll just nick down the Candy Aisle, see if Chocolate is on sale (see how much I like Sale Chocolate - hahaha! Is it tastier, or just less expensive?? We'll never know! It's all gone, now - hahaha!)
Not that you couldn't just 'browse' for that, anyway... right? Me thinkin', now, o' course, where is the Sale Chocolate, online?? hahaha! But let's say you're you, and not me, and you have a LOT more self control than maybe ME do... so you order all the things you really wanted, and not just a whole cart full o' Wunderbars, on sale... hahahaha! Wouldn't THAT be fun - just a cartful of Sale Chocolate?? haha! Okay, clearly, me needs a treat! lol! : ) #SaleChocolate! Ha!
