  • 1 pie crust (9 inch)
  • 1 ¼ cups dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 ¾ pounds sweet potatoes (try to get potatoes about the same size so they get done at the same time)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 3 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Place crust in pie plate and sprinkle ¼ cup brown sugar over the bottom; set aside.
  3. sweet-potato-pie-crust-prep-picture
  4. Pick sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave until tender flipping half way through the cooking process. (About 15 to 20 minutes – these can be done ahead of time. Just place the flesh in a bowl and refrigerate). Immediacy slice potatoes in half lengthwise, allowing some of the moisture to escape, and the potatoes to cool. Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle using a spoon scoop out the flesh into the bowl of a food processor and then add the remaining sugar and salt, process until smooth.

Fresh blackberries, cream cheese, and a hint of lemon make this no bake blackberry pie a delicious treat.

Blackberries are very abundant her in Upper Michigan this year and I like to use as many of them fresh as possible. It has been years since I have eaten a no bake blackberry pie. I was getting ready to bake a regular blackberry pie, but it was so hot outside I was reluctant to fire up the oven for a long period of time – so I decided to do a little surfing and came across this  Blackberry Cream Cheese Pie recipe. This is not exactly a no bake, but close, the pie crust is prebaked. You can substitute a graham cracker crust if you want to turn this into a 100 percent no bake recipe.

If you have blackberries available give this Fresh Blackberry Cream Cheese Pie recipe a try; it’s delicious!!

Rhubarb Bars Recipe

raw rubarb recipe

rubarb recipe picture 2

It’s rhubarb season here in Upper Michigan and I figured I should post at least one recipe with rhubarb as the main ingredient.

This recipe almost didn’t get posted because I had some issues putting the crust together – I double checked it to make sure it was right, but had trouble getting the crumbly texture I wanted. The crust mixture was more on a dough side than crumbly. I thought, what is, is, and continued to finish the recipe.

The deciding factor for posting this recipe was that these bars are delicious – it turned out to be one of those that you just can’t eat one recipe. I had to have my wife take them away!!

If you decide to try this Rhubarb Bars Recipe don’t be shook if the crust is a little on the doughy side; just crumble it the best you can when you apply the topping, other than that the doughy texture works out well for forming the bottom crust for the bars. (I used the flat part of a glass to press the topping into place; Enjoy

Biscuit Topped Slow Cooker Pot Pie

Because this recipe isn’t placed in a pie crust, I guess the name of the recipe is a little misleading, but this recipe is so good I had to post it. Unlike most slow cooker recipes, that are almost always real simple, this one does require a little more work because it goes from the slow cooker into the oven, and the biscuits are par cooked before they go on top of the filling.
The end result is a delicious buttermilk biscuit topped pot pie.
