This recipe is so delicious, and for a made from scratch pudding, about as easy as you can get. I love raisins in this, but you don't necessarily have to use them. The original recipe calls for whole milk, but I used 1% with no problems. Also, as I'm out of lemon zest, and lemons, for that matter, I used a bit of orange zest in its place, and you know, I think I like it better! Whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

I've been making this pie for a long time. I don't know when I found the recipe in my mom's recipe box, but I know I offered to make it for Chris back when we weren't even dating and I was supposed to come over for dinner and meet his parents. I chickened out of making it because my mom and a friend convinced me that it was too...oh I don't even remember the phrasing, but that I wasn't to give the impression that we were in a serious relationship. Oh, the sweet, sweet irony. I've since made it for my husband, his parents, and many others over the years. It is my pie specialty, and it's deceptively easy.
Read moreEnchiladas, Pioneer Woman Style.
I've been looking for a good enchilada recipe for awhile now. You see, I love ordering them at restaurants, but making them at home. Guaranteed to be a flop, every time. That is, until I was gifted the Pioneer Woman's cookbook and discovered that her recipes never flop. Seriously. Every single one I've tried has turned out famously, and most are simple to boot. When I came across her enchilada recipe, I admit, I hesitated. See, there's nothing obviously wrong with the recipe, nothing at all wrong with it. I was just afraid I'd ruin my streak with her recipes and have yet another flopped enchilada meal. I was so wrong. These are delicious, simple, properly messy (all enchilada recipes I've tried have that in common,) and quite filling. If you've had the same luck making enchiladas at home as I have, please, end your misery, make these. Tonight, if possible. You won't regret it. Enjoy!
