...for the "idiot" in all of us!

Great title for a post huh?

I am NOT truly calling you an idiot...or myself for that matter ~ I don't think I've done anything (yet) today to merit that name! :)

Fun recipe I thought I'd share with you. This was one of my granddaddy's recipes and it is SO good - you will love it!

Warning: I never said it was a healthy recipe, but it is good for you...your taste buds, that is!

IDIOT PIE

2 pie crusts
1 8 0z. package cream cheese
1 box confectioners sugar
1 med. container Cool Whip
1 can blueberry pie filling

Mix the cream cheese, sugar and Cool Whip together with a mixer and pour into pie crusts. Top with the pie filling and refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight until set.

* This makes 2 pies so you can cut the recipe in half if you'd like. Also, cut yourself a smaller piece than you think you want because it is pretty rich!

Oh but SO good...you'd be an IDIOT not to try it...(no offense) :)

Enjoy!

Apple Raisin Betty

*I will be answering the gazillion questions (haha) that I've received in a day or two. By the way, thanks to those of you that have asked. Great questions too!

Hubs and I had a treat for dessert tonight...Apple Raisin Betty.

I was actually going to post a picture of it right when it came out of the oven. But, I thought you'd get one look at it and move on. It honestly looked just like a mexican dish, which doesn't look too tasty when you are expecting apple anything! Pictures just don't do things justice.

I saw Sandra Lee on Semi-Homemade make this a couple of days ago and thought it would be something different to try.

So, for anyone interested, here is the recipe:

Apple Raisin Betty

(2) 20 oz. cans of apple pie filling

3 packets of Raisin Spice instant oatmeal (I used Quaker)

1 tsp. cinnamon

6 tbsp. butter

Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray and put in 1 can of pie filling. Sprinkle 1 1/2 packets of the oatmeal on top of the filling, then add 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Crumble up the butter into small pieces and add half (3 tbsp.) on top.

Then repeat again. Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 1 hour.

The only thing missing was the vanilla ice cream. We certainly won't make that mistake again!
