Nana's Chess Pie

Thanks for all of your kind words regarding my previous post. I really do not like to use this blog to vent, but last week was completely bizarre and I am so happy to put it behind me and move on :)

My man is in lockdown mode with his first medical school test this Friday.  While I don't expect to see him too much this week, I do want him to come home to a fully stocked fridge and comfortable, welcoming environment.

One of the things that Lash loves is a bite of something sweet at night.  I do not have a sweet tooth so I take the easy way out and always have some kind of ice cream in the fridge for him.  To make a little something special for this week, this weekend I bake him a chess pie.  Chess Pies are a very Southern, old timey dessert, and this recipe is my grandmother's.  I hope you enjoy.  It was so easy!
