Tea and Toast
As we lead into the fall, we begin to think of the comfort foods from our past and the ones we have handed down from generation to generation. I would like to share a piece of my past with you.

I grew up during the time that we had recipes with the phrase "Impossible" in the title. This referred to the idea that you could just dump all the ingredients together and throw it in the oven and it became a dish all by itself. These recipes were developed for the new generation of women that were entering the work place for the first time and time budgeting was an issue balancing career and family and home responsibilities.

Since pie is one of my favorite foods during the fall and holiday season, and I confess anytime of year, I have continued using a recipe inherited from my mother for the "Impossible Pie."The spices are traditional for this time of year and the custard filling is comforting as well. I love the fact that is makes it's own crust. This recipe lives up to it's name and is especially good paired with your favorite cup of tea.

I trust you will try this recipe as our weather gets cooler and we start having guests and friends into our homes.
