Old Fashioned Chocolate Meringue Pie {Granny's Recipe}

Old-fashioned chocolate meringue pie is creamy, rich chocolate filling adorned with fluffy meringue in a flakey pie crust, just like grandma makes. GRANNY'S CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PIE There are pies, and then there are Granny's pies. My family has always been a pie fan, and growing up, this chocolate meringue pie was a favorite. Christmas desserts always included my Mother's Chocolate Meringue Pie growing up in the '60s. She made the best.  Always made from scratch, a reminiscence of an old fashioned southern cook. We couldn't decide which one to cut first, her Coconut Meringue or Chocolate Meringue, so we would have a little of both.  Devine...

Turkey Carcass Soup  is the most flavorful turkey soup you will ever make.  Don't throw the carcass away. It's the star of this recipe!   HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF LEFTOVER TURKEY When making your Thanksgiving turkey keep in mind the delicious soup you can make from the turkey bones and the lingering meat left on the bones.  It is the best kept secret for leftover makeover recipes. Instead of throwing out the turkey carcass, I put it in a stockpot and filled it with water.  Simmer it for an hour or two, and then easily remove the meat.   Discard the bones and add your vegetables, and 15 minutes before serving, add the pasta shell.  

Eggnog Pumpkin Pie

Are you a fan of pumpkin recipes?  I can't wait for Pumpkin season.  It seems to come earlier and earlier every year. Even though some of the pumpkin products may be marketing ploys some people seem to welcome it back every year. Part of the hoopla is the warmth the fall season brings, mugs of apple cider and pumpkin bread, playing in the leaves, and wrapping up in cozy blankets.
