Pudding is good

Coconut Pie

Thanks to school being out and Bountiful Baskets I got to make a pie this week.


Coconut pie with Mango White Chocolate Topping
Crust:

• 1 stick of cold butter, cubed
• 1 1/2 cup rice flour
• a little cold water

Filling:

• Coconut pudding (I wanted to make pudding from scratch but couldn't find the ingredients. I will def be doing it later though)
• 1 mango, peeled and cubed
• 6 white chocolate melties
• a little sugar
• a little butter

OK Start!

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make the pie crust and place it in a greased pie pan for about 12 minutes.
2. Mix the pudding to the "pie filling" directions and stir. Set aside until the pie crust is ready.
3. In a small pan, on medium/low heat, melt the butter, sugar, and mango together. Once it is somewhat syrupy stir in a few white chocolate melties.
4. Pour the coconut filling into the pie crust, then gently top with the mango mixture. 
5. Bake on middle rack about 20 minutes then let it cool over night.

Bad picture, but it was delicious!

Mama needs McDonald's

Not something you hear come out of my mouth very often, but after 2 days of Cassia not sleeping and 95+ heat it was time. The three of us walked over to McD's for a Rolo McFlurry. It was caramelly, chocolately, and wonderful. But how can something with caramel not be divine?

Liam and I shared it. I gave Cassia a rice teething biscuit which she spit out and grabbed the McFlurry. Can't say I blame her. Liam played in the playland thing and then decided to change personalities. 

Liam: I am papa! Hello big boy!

Then he changed again.

Liam: Mama you're papa. Say big boy.

He's getting better with Cassia too, although yesterday he said "take the baby to the baby store and put her in a cage"

last hurrah

Liam picked me flowers on our last night in MT. We had dinner at the Quick Stop and ice cream. Dad got vanilla, Liam got strawberry, I got creme de menthe, and Cassia chewed on my cup of water.

more s'mores

I had my first s'more since I was like 8, thanks to GF graham crackers. The nearly $6 I paid for the box was worth it.

Sweet cherry pie

My aunt likes her pie full of real fruit. My grandma likes her pie crust full of vodka.
