MUST TRY THIS PIE! My husband and I love this recipe. If you love molasses, you'll LOVE this. Although this is meant to be a dessert, Shoofly pie also makes a great breakfast. I used to half the recipe and just make one pie, but I got bickering with my husband like a 2 year old over who got the last slice. Now, I make 2 pies. One for him, one for me. And those 2 pies are usually gone in 36 hours. :-)

I love to feed my family. When the kids were young, I would always feed their friends before and after school or dinner if they wanted. I love to make people smile , making foods they enjoy.
Most of my recipes are handed down from Grandmothers, Mothers, friends. I treasure these recipes made by those I love.
