Yummy! Old-fashioned Coconut Meringue Pie, just like Grandma used to make. Get the recipe for the perfect pie filling and a secret to keep the meringue from shrinking! Southern Coconut Meringue Pie Homemade Coconut Meringue Pie is a staple in the South. The pie filling is a rich, creamy custard loaded with sweetened coconut poured into a flaky, prebaked pie crust, then piled with a luscious cloud of meringue and sprinkled generously with sweetened coconut.

Not knowing this yesterday, I made a Coconut Meringue Pie and an Old Fashioned Butterscotch Pie to take to our Life Group Meeting this evening. How cool is that!

Hot Sweet Pepper Relish and Spicy Pinto Beans
Hearty, flavorful Pinto Beans cooked with Mexican-style seasonings make a great side dish, with cornbread and topped with hot sweet pepper relish! I just read or heard on a food show that it has long been said that pinto beans originated in San Antonio and some refer to them as "Cowboy Beans". I don't know all about that, all I remember is that my mother cooked a lot of them when I was growing up in the 60's, so delicious, and I never got tired of them! Many a time they were the main course on our dinner table with a pan of cornbread and Chow Chow.

Baked Ham {Great Grandmother's Recipe}
Traditionally Baked Ham at our house growing up was served for special occasions like Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. My Mother-in-law always cooked her hams low and slow, and she never put a glaze on it. She used the ham juices to baste with. Jim's Mother's recipe for baked ham was relatively easy and yielded an absolutely delicious result. This is because she cooked her ham low and slow in the oven without adding a glaze, and the end result was melt in your mouth. Her secret to cooking an amazing ham was to add water to the pan, cover with foil and baste with the ham juices occasionally during the cooking, approximately every 30 minutes. Pure Deliciousness!
