Mom, Did You Make This? (OUTSPOKEN_DIVA's Favorite Recipes)

Thanks to Facebook, my mother's blog name be Muh Diva, as in My Diva. Muh Diva didn't cook often while I was growing up. My grandmother cooked during the week. We ate fast food on Saturdays. My youngest aunt, Stump cooked on most Sundays. (95% of the cooking is my job, now) Then Stump got married & moved when I was twelve & my grandmother & mother switched out on Sundays, while the other went to church.

Notice I said Muh Diva didn't cook. That didn't say she couldn't cook. My mom is a good cook but she was a working mom.  She makes simple classic meals well. My niece & nephew are always wanting her to make meatloaf. She also loves to recreate meals she liked eating at restaurants. (Yep people of offline land, that's where I get it from) She has a discerning palate.

And since the internet was not in our home (or your home) when I came up, her palate came in handy. My favorite dessert my mom makes is Millionaire Pie. She had it first at Luby's. Then she found the recipe on a label of Eagle brand condensed milk. And one holiday, it entered our lives. I'm over 30 & if Muh Diva says to put the ingredients to this pie on the shopping list, I don't argue.

I probably break into my happy dance and go get those ingredients. She doesn't make it often. It's rather pricey. So when she makes it, we consider it a gift.

Millionaire Pie

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounces) package cream cheese, softened 
• 1 (14 ounces) can sweeten condensed milk 
• 1 (12 ounces) container frozen whipped topping, thawed 
• 1 (20 ounces) can crush pineapple, drained 
• 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
• 2 (9 inches) prepared graham cracker crusts

Directions:

1. Blend together the cream cheese and condensed milk; gently fold in the whipped topping.
2. Stir in the crushed pineapple and pecans; pour into pie crusts and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours

As she says, mix, pie crust, & refrigerate. So, make it and indulge for me. Oh, the pie also freezes nicely. Shout to my cousin, blog name Cline, who makes a diabetic version of this pie, for sharing that tip with us.
