Nana’s Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie with Meringueĩ oz of heavy cream **or you can just use 24 oz. Nana did not use it, but I wanted a very coconuty taste – and I got it! If you want the original recipe, replace the cream of coconut with all heavy cream and you will have it! Here’s the recipe: Nana’s Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie with Meringueġ Cup sweetened coconut plus more for sprinkling on topġ5 oz can of Cream of Coconut – Find it in the grocery store in the section where dink mixes are sold I made this pie and added my own little twist to it – Cream of Coconut: Picky Eater rolls his eyes and gags – but it has become too much for mom to make these days and I still love it…….maybe I will tackle it soon. When we go to restaurants today, if they serve it, I order it while Mr. Yes, I just said beef liver………mom made smothered beef liver with rice when I was a kid that meant I was having Jeno’s pizza for dinner until I was pregnant with Top Girl, then I craved it. I hated it most of that time because I did not like coconut but then, much like beef liver and nuts, coconut slowly made its way into the “like” column of foods available to me. It was an old fashioned dessert that Nana made for all of us over the years. Since the meal was so healthy, we had complete decadence for dessert. It was so good mom ate all of hers and asked to take home leftovers. It was Cornish Hens with sticky rice and Mango Avocado salsa. Last week, we had a homemade meal for Mother’s Day which you can see Here and there’s also a great giveaway going on this week. Picky Eater and I haven’t been away overnight together in probably seven years……just not something we think of doing but so glad the kids think for us sometimes. To say I am looking forward to it is a big understatement! Mr. Picky Eater which Top Girl bought me – a Groupon – for Mother’s Day. The next day I get to go on a wonderful weekend with Mr. Heck, I am not spry enough to do that! To avoid crowds of children bringing their moms as well as parents bringing their children who just graduated (it’s graduation weekend at OU) we will avoid restarants today and then next Thursday night Top Girl and I will take mom out to her favorite place to eat spending the evening doing whatever she wants. Today is Mother’s Day and my mom is still spry enough to care for Rocket three days per week.
