Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Magical Custard Pie

Something you may...or may not....know about me is that I LOVE custard anything. I love it! If I could eat one food for the rest of my life and never gain an ounce or get tired of it, it would be custard. Any custard based dessert....I’m all over it. Anything with custard IN it...I’m all about it. Anything FILLED with custard...yes, I love that too. So you get the idea about me and my weird and unnatural affinity to custard. So here’s this pie. Talk about easy. Dump all the ingredients in a blender and pour in a pie pan and voila! Pie! CUSTARD pie, no less. And you don’t even have to make a crust for it because...magically...the crust is made for you. How cool is that? So yeah...custard pie...make it.
