Buttermilk Pie Ya'll!

I just finished cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner for friends at my 3 year wedding anniversary this past weekend. My poor husband has indulged in numerous Thanksgiving favorites well before Thanksgiving. You could look at that as a good or bad thing! I suppose it all depends who you are. With the holiday impending, I'm thinking of what I should bring to my my mom's and mother in laws this year. Luckily for me, both women are phenomenal cooks in their own right. Both will spend at least 2 days bangin' out 7-10 dishes all by their little selves.

I remember when I was an executive chef in little Beaumont, Texas at Two Magnolias restaurant. It was my first holiday away from home with my then, fiance, Foti. There was this wonderful lady named Ms. Pat who mad THE BEST buttermilk pies I'd ever had the pleasure of tasting. This holiday I think I will make this for both families, along with their other requests! Buttermilk pie always reminds me of Ms. Pat and how much she loved to make them every Friday for customers. I couldn't find her, but I found a sweet lady on youtube named India Galyean. She looks like she puts a lot of love in her pie. And isn't that what the holidays are all about? Making food with love, for the ones you love.

Enjoy and get cooking!
