Mom's Apple Pie
Key Lime Pie
I made this to bring to work for some party - Imagine that. It was actually pretty good. I really liked it.
Ingredients:
3 eggs, separated
1 (14-ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk)
1/2 cup lime juice
2 or 3 drops green food coloring (optional)
1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
Instructions: Preheat oven to 325°F. In medium bowl, beat egg yolks on low speed; gradually beat in EAGLE BRAND® and lime juice until smooth. Stir in food coloring (optional). Pour mixture into pie crust. Bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Top with Cool Whip and refrigerate, covered.
Top can be decorated with very thin slices of lime. (To do this, cut really thin slices of lime, then cut the slice half way across then twist it for a cute decoration). See how easy that is? This is the way I make my lemon pie too. Just substitute the lime juice for lemon juice.

Simple Vanilla Ice Cream
I made this ice cream for Christmas. It says "simple", but I swear I will never do it again! ha! It really isn't hard, but you have to stir that stuff for a good 45 minutes or longer. My arm was sore the next day from stirring so much. I finally had to sit on the counter top just to rest. Gotta love mom's little side notes.
1c. sugar
1/4 c. all-purpose flour ( you need all-purpose cause it doesn't have salt or baking powder in it)3/4 tsp. salt
3 c. milk
3 eggs
1-1/2 c. heavy or whipping cream
1-1/2 tbsp. vanilla extract
1. In heavy 3 quart saucepan with wire whisk, combine sugar, flour and salt. Beat in milk and eggs until well blended. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats spoon. (Do not boil or mixture will curdle.) Cover surface with plastic wrap; cool completely, about 3 hours. Pour into ice cream maker and process.
In case you didn't know: The spoon is coated when you can run your finger over the back of the spoon and it leaves a clean line (the mixture doesn't run back together). And cover surface means to put the plastic directly on the surface of the mixture so a film doesn't form.

5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
I don’t know if this works, but it’s a great idea.
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using)and vanilla extract, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous) Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
