Today I thought I would join Foodie Friday with an old standby and my family's favorite. Thanks to Gollum @ http://designsbygollum.blogspot.com for hosting this wonderful event. Be sure to go by her blog and check out all the wonderful Foodie items and collect a few new recipes.
We are having dessert for two. I made my DH's favorite pie for dessert tonight. It is just a good ole' standyby, Chocolate Pie. I have an old recipe that my grandmother use to make and the chocolate filling is just so special, I thought I would share it.
3 tsp. cocoa
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
Combine in sauce pan and mix well : Add
3 cups milk
3 egg yolks ( reserve the whites for the meringue )
Cook stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat and add l tsp. vanilla. Let cool slightly and then fill baked pie shell. Top with meringue or chill and top with whipped cream.
I hope you enjoy.

My husband is off work next week so we will make this one. It's funny but he absolutely loves to try out new recipes. LOVES it! It's too cute to watch. I just let him take over and he makes the entire dinner some nights. LOL! I guess he secretly wishes he was a chef. :)

Hi, I came over from Life Blessings. My hubby would love it if I made him that pie. When I was reading your profile, I thought it said you married the nearest man (o: I need to wear my glasses more often. Your house is beautiful.
We are big Chocolate fans too Marty and my DH would love your pie and I love the pie and that gorgeous tea-set, napkin and tablecloth. Happy weekend, Kathy.
Being the child of a health nut I was never taught how to make pies..I have never made one! It sounds so good, I may just give it a try. Thanks for the sweet comment that you left for me today.
