 Grey insisted we try an orange pie, so I just used the classic key lime recipe and made this one. I liked this much better than I thought I would, and I give this a 9. 1 package graham crackers, blended 1 T. sugar 3 T. butter Bake at 350 for 5 minutes. Then, we added: 2 egg yolks 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 brick cream cheese, softened so it will blend easily 1 cup fresh orange juice (I used 1 lemon and the other 3 were oranges) 1 Tbs. orange zest (this took 2 oranges) Mix the above well and pour over crust. We baked another 24 minutes (it might still be jiggly in the middle). It gets refrigerated for 3 hours or so. I liked less cream on mine, but that might be a preference.

       I really love this dish. It's colorful and bright and has such great flavor. I combined two different recipes, so here's the final product. It gets an 8.5. 3   red beets 3   golden beets 4   large carrots 1   Tbsp   olive oil 1/2   tsp   salt Dressing:  3 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp white wine vinegar 1 tbsp honey 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped Salt, to taste Cut beets and carrots into wedges, arrange on a single layer on a baking sheet, and drizzle olive oil and salt on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until tender. Once done, stir dressing ingredients together and pour on top of carrots and beets. 

 I liked this version better than the one I blogged a few years ago. It is just pure blueberry pie, and the lemon does not come through, which is what I wanted for this version. 30 oz. blueberries (6 cups) 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1/3 cup ultragel 1/3 cup sugar 1-2 T. butter, cut into little chunks, 2 pie crusts So, you essentially put the lemon juice over the berries, and stir the ultragel and sugar together in a separate bowl and then dump them over the berries and really stir until it is thoroughly combined and there aren't any clumps./ I had to take a few minutes break in between to let the berries macerate a bit before I could get it all stirred in. Then you dump it in a pie crust, dot it with the butter, put the floating pie crust on top, put an egg wash on it, and then some table sugar. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes and then 350 for 35-50 minutes. It will start to bubble all over, and about 15 minutes before it's done, put a cookie sheet underneath to catch the inevitable d...

We all really liked these and I will definitely make them again. They get a 7.5 and came from ourbalancedbowl.com.  3   medium   ripe bananas 1/4   cup   pure maple syrup 1   large   egg 1/2   cup   vegetable oil I used olive oil 1   cup   all purpose flour 1/4   cup   cocoa powder 1   tsp   baking powder 1   tsp   baking soda 1/4   tsp   salt 1/4   cup   peanut butter I just added 1/2 TBS to the top of each muffin before baking 1/2   cup   semi-sweet chocolate chips  https://ourbalancedbowl.com/chocolate-peanut-butter-swirl-muffins/  

I forgot to snap a picture of this, but it's pesto, so it pretty much always looks like the same. I like that it was a cheaper alternative to pine nuts and still tasted great. The recipe came from enwnirtition.com. ½   cup   parmesan cheese   freshly grated ¼   cup   walnuts   chopped 2   cloves   garlic   minced ¼   teaspoon   kosher salt ¼   teaspoon   black pepper ½   cup   extra virgin olive oil https://enwnutrition.com/pesto-without-pine-nuts/

  I really loved this. It had nice, subtle flavor, and you could use different vegetables if you're crazy and don't like carrots or potatoes or asparagus. I also just used a rotisserie chicken.
