Welcome to the jungle

the peanut butteriest of pies

Three dogs, two goats, my sister, Matt, my mom and around 20 of the most marvelous people I know made for quite a busy household over the last two days.  It sort of went like this.

Matt, your job is Scruffy – Emily

Matt, where is Scruffy? – Emily

Mara, Scruffy pooed on the floor – Matt

Emily, I wanted the white tablecloth not the blue one – Mom

Mara, Scruffy peed on the floor – Matt

Basically Scruffy – our new dog – decided Thanksgiving was a good day to show his lack of house training.  And my dad was working so all of the house stuff had to be done so mom didn’t stress out too much.

Despite all of this dinner went without a hitch.  And Matt got to try peanut butter pie for the first time.  I don’t know how he went so long without trying it.  My cousins don’t let me come to the holidays without it.  And it happens to be the easiest dessert I make.  My cousin wanted to know if Matt was marrying me for the pie.  Little did she know I have other qualities other than an amazing peanut butter pie.

Because I want you all to find husbands and be invited to holiday parties because of a dessert you bring, I am going to give you the peanut butter pie recipe.  You should probably try it, as soon as possible.  You weren’t going to lose that holiday weight till after New Years anyway, right?

Peanut Butter Pie:

6 oz. of cream cheese
3/4 cup of confectioner sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
1/2 cup of peanut butter
Container of Whipped Cream

Cream the sugar and cream cheese.  Add the milk and peanut butter.  Fold in the whipped cream.  Pour into an Oreo crust.  If you have the time, make your own crust.  It always tastes better that way, but in a pinch a store crust will do just fine.  In fact I feel like you could probably just scoop this into a cup and sprinkle with crumbs.

Happy Eating and Greetings from the Zoo!!!
