Can't Pie Me Love

Okay, well maybe you can. Do you remember awhile back when I mentioned the movie Waitress? Well, the long awaited day came and the DVD was finally released. This time I was prepared for the craving that I knew would come, and baked a pie to enjoy hot out of the oven while we watched the movie. I highly recommend purchasing this movie but you might want to consider the consequences of your expanding waistline beforehand. Here is a recipe for those of you brave enough to watch it.

Oh Me, Oh My, Oatmeal Pie
1 9" pie crust
2 large eggs
1/2 stick melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3cup brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup dark corn syrup

2/3 cup old fashioned oats
1 (generous) cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Make pie crust and set aside. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and then add melted butter, vanilla, sugar and corn syrup and continue to whisk until well incorporated. Fold in oats and chocolate chips and pour into uncooked pie crust. Bake aprox 45 mins or until the crust is golden and the filling is firm to the touch. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes if you can stand it.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my last post. I'm so happy to be in the company of so many like minded people. I want to make it clear that both of those pictures were inspiring my simple decorating and are not of my home. I wish! I believe they were from Country Living and BHG respectively. I would love to make a wreath like that some day though, and have been gathering the materials. I don't think that will happen this year.

  2. Ah Jen, you don't mention chocolate chips in the ingredients!! How many chips should we use? Don't say "as many as you want" that would be waaaay too many!

  9. Oh, I loved that movie. I have been a fan of Kerri Russel since her days on Felicity, and loved her even more in this movie. I watched it on the plane ride from Seattle to Dallas, on my way to visit Jerusalem this summer, and they had to turn it off just before the ending during landing!! I was so upset that I might not get to see the ending, but they were nice enough to turn it back on as we taxied (that looks weird) to the gate. Little did I know at the time(or maybe I did subconsiously) that I was pregnant myself :)

    BTW, Elf is one of my favorite holiday movies, too. There are so many parts that just make giggle!
