Made 2 French silk pies over the week (at different times). The first one came out too rich so I had to redeem myself. :lau I will post a picture later!

I love French silk pies, but gave them up when I saw the calorie content :barnie.

Please post pics, and the recipe? :cool:

Not sure what those are, have never seen any yellow squash except summer squash. Maybe try a casserole, grilled or sautéed?
 
actually deep fried them like zucchini flour and salt and pepper deep fry about 2 minutes soft center little harder around the edges.. They are a summer squash or crook neck Son suggested doing them as we do zucchini was quite good

Second one 1st , first one second.
As I mentioned the first one turned out very rich so I modified it to my liking.

Melt together:
1 cup and then some heavy cream

1 cup chocolate (I used dark)

1/3 cup butter

1/2 cup or so of sugar

Temper in 2 egg yolks

Continue to cook on medium until thickened

Once thickened put in ice bath and chill for 20 minutes stirring every 5-10 minutes. (This is what the recipe says but I have a feeling that the fridge would work too)

After that it didn't seem cold enough so I popped it in the fridge while I rolled out my chilled pie crust and blind baked it.

When the chocolate mixture was chilled I whipped it up with my stand mixer until it was light and fluffy.

Transfer the filling to your cooled pie crust and chill until serving.

Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls.

Love it!
 
We picked mountains of wild blackberries from our property so I've got some canning and baking in my future!

We have 8 gallon ziploc bags full! (We've gotten 4x what's showing in the pic below) I rinsed and froze them single layer so can use them later.

So any good recipes? I have a "Cheat" pie crust so I may make a blackberry pie.

When I saw your post, it reminded me of the best blackberry cobbler recipe I've ever found. It's in the Fannie Farmer Cookbook (Twelfth Edition) I was given the cookbook as a wedding gift in 1981 & 36 years later, I still enjoy cooking recipes from it for my sweet hubby.

My favorite thing to bake is CHEESECAKE!
