Welcome to my Kitchen!

As often as possible you will find new recipes, that I have found on the internet, from others and some that are family favorites. Most are easy and use common ingredients found in most kitchens. Not all pictures are taken by me, but I do add my own pictures as soon as I can after I have made the recipe and remember to take the picture. Pull up a chair, help yourself to some coffee and make yourself at home. Please leave a comment, I appreciate feedback. Thank you.

Strawberry smoothie Pie

 I found this recipe on TOH but rewrote it to suit what I have on hand and like. The pie is very refreshing and a big hit here. 


1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free strawberry gelatin
 1/3 cup reduced-calorie reduced-sugar cranberry juice (I used some raspberry juice I had on hand)
 3/4 cup (6 ounces) light yogurt, raspberry or strawberry
 3 cups chopped or sliced, fresh strawberries
 9 inch graham cracker crust, recipe below

In glass  measuring cup, sprinkle gelatin over juice, do not stir; let stand for 1 minute. Microwave on high for 40 seconds; stir. Let stand for 1 minute or until gelatin is completely dissolved.

In a blender, combine the gelatin mixture, yogurt and strawberries; cover and process until blended well, like a smoothie. Pour into cooled crust. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set. Serve with whipped topping if desired. Keep in refrigerator. Makes 8  servings.

Graham cracker crust

1 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
1/3 c melted butter
1/3 c sugar

Mix well and pat into a 9 inch pie pan. Bake at 350º for 10 minutes.  Cool for half an hour before pouring in pie mixture.
