Impossible Pie
Yesterday my friend Sandy and I took a natural dye class together and the topic came up of those foods we always ate as children-my mom was from Wisconsin and her family was from West Virginia but it was amazing how many of the foods we shared: fried spam, chowchow, bread and butter pickles, etc. I think that some of those foods are going to have to make it to this blog in the future but today I am going to share another. One of the foods from my childhood that I have never heard anyone else talk about is my mom’s Impossible Pie. My dad loved coconut cream pie and we had that, too, but this one was a much quicker knock off and one I liked far more than coconut cream. This is one recipe I am glad to have still in the family but am happy to share with anyone who wants to make a really quick and amazingly delicious coconut concoction for dessert.
