Cookie Nut Crust
"This recipe came from "The Farmers Almanac Blue Ribbon Recipes" cookbook, used for a pumpkin pie. I used it last night to make Bev's Chocolate Chip Pie. It turned out great. It can be prebaked for a cream-filled pie, or unbaked for a pie that must go into the oven. You could use this recipe as an alternative to just about any "crumb crust". Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!"

This was an easy crust to assemble and gave that little something extra to my pie! I used it on Ocean~Ivy's Best Fudge Brownie Pie and it was delicious! I plan on trying it next prebaked for a refrigerated cream pie. It puts those crumb crusts to shame! Thanks for sharing with us Cindy Lynn! -
It doesn't say if it is supposed to be baked! ??? Yes...no...how long....what temp? -
I wasn't sure about this recipe, but I had walnuts I wanted to use up. This was a great crust! I just threw everything into a food processor, made it so simple and so quick. I used it for (Recipe #28935)Caramel Banana Pie...only 6 ingredients! From the Lone Star Legacy Cookbook by Tinks. It was a perfect combination. Thanks! -
Being a novice pie maker, I was glad that I was able to make this delicious crust! It was easy to do, although it will take a lot of patience to form it in the pie pan! =)

I am currently a stay at home Mom and wife (aka: homemaker, domestic engineer, chauffeur, etc.). My husband and I made this choice about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time I was averaging 72 hours/week +. Our kids were complaining that they never saw me, and one of them was even getting in trouble (too little supervision apparently). We got the troubled teen through high school, and she is currently preparing for college. Things have improved a lot so I am considering going back to work part-time while the kids are gone to school (if the right opportunity presents itself).

<br>I love to cook, especially trying new recipes. I get tired of the same ol', same ol'. I also love reading cookbooks and the history of recipes. I always hated doing all the dishes afterwards, so I did a lot of one dish meals whenever possible. Recently, my husband bought me a new dishwasher, so now I am cooking up a storm! Everyone is loving it.
<br>
<br>I look forward to making new friends in Recipezaar, trying out new recipes, and hope some of you will try some of mine. Please, if you try my recipes, take time to post a little note telling me about your experience and any modifications you may have made. I just love to experiment and try new things in the kitchen! :-))
