Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving Holiday, and a wonderful dinner - then all sorts of lovely leftovers!  My favorite leftover is a deliciously simple Toasted Turkey Sandwich! Yum!  I just made a turkey, today, so now I can't wait for lunch, tomorrow! lol! 


Make something great for your family, your friends, or yourself, today!  These are all easy, tried and true recipes from my kitchen to yours!  Enjoy!  Ailsa xox

How to Make the Easiest Turkey, Ever... Balsamic Olive Oil Turkey.  So easy, soo delicious! And, really, you can use any oil you have in the house - Olive Oil, EVOO (Extra-Virgin Olive Oil), Sunflower Oil - whatever you have on hand, it'll all work out really nicely!




Easy Schmeasy Pie Crust:  This is the easiest pie crust, ever -- make it right in the pie plate, no rolling, just mix and press with your fingers.... and it's excellent for a low cholesterol diet... very low in fat and sugar, so great for diabetics, too... I love it because it's fast and easy (much like myself! lol!), delicious, and no lard -- ick!! The trick is to mix the milk with the oil -- I just shake it in a jar, or put the milk and oil in a glass, cover with plastic wrap, shake shake shake!  Fun to make with the kids, too!



Crazy-Delicious No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake

Cherry Cheesecake: My famous No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake... I jokingly call it my 'Marry Me Cheesecake', since if you make this and give some to your 'Significant Other', they'll be asking you to marry them! hahahaha!

Suffice it to say I haven't shared this Cherry Cheesecake with anyone for a while, now... and I just made one last weekend -- oooh, sooo good! It's craazy delicious, cool and creamy, really light, and you can make a low-fat version, too (I don't.. I loove da full o' fat version... just eat it in the morning, then you'll have the whole day to work it off, right? lol!

More Delicious and Easy Recipes : )

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!

Blueberry Fruit Tart #Blueberries #BlueberryPie #PieShell


Blueberry Tart -- you can use any fruit you like in this tart... cherries, apples, raspberries... anything at all!  It's light and easy, it's even a sweet but healthy treat for you and your loved ones (don't share it with anoyone who doesn't love you back -- my own little secret! hahahahaha! (You know that made me laugh! lol!)

Take about 2 Tablespoons of the Flour and 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 & Sugar Mixture.



Pour the Berries into the Pie Shell, and bake at 350 Degrees for about an hour. I always use an AirBake 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!!

#PieCrust - Easy Schmeasy Pie Crust #LowCholesterol #LowFat #NoRolling! : ) #ApplePie #BlueberryPie



#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

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.

 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!
