WOW the best pie

Creamy Blueberry Pie
"This is one of my favorite pies-not too sweet, good hot or cold, with or without ice cream. Plus, it's easy to make."  Original recipe yield: 1 deep dish pie.

INGREDIENTS:

·         3 cups fresh blueberries
·         1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
·         1 cup white sugar
·         1/3 cup all-purpose flour
·         1/8 teaspoon salt
·         2 eggs, beaten
·         1/2 cup sour cream
·         1/2 cup white sugar
·         1/2 cup all-purpose flour
·         1/4 cup butter

DIRECTIONS:

1.     Combine 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and salt. Add eggs and sour cream, stirring until blended.
2.     Place blueberries in pastry shell, and spoon sour cream mixture over berries.
3.     In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour. Cut in butter or margarine with pastry blender until mixture resembles course meal. Sprinkle this mixture over sour cream mixture and berries in the pie shell.
4.     Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50 to 55 minutes, or until lightly browned. If desired, garnish with additional blueberries and mint leaves.



I don't know who to give credit...  Elise for finding the recipe, and her friend for sharing it, but I didn't want to share unless it was already on the internet and it is!!  But the line is from allrecipes, so I don't know who's recipe it was in the first place... But thanks for whoever shared it first, it was amazing, my hubs liked it a lot and he doesn't like blueberries...

Cheese Ball

from my friend Darice B. (a favorite treat she made for friends and neighbors around Christmas, we love it!)

2 pkg cream cheese, soft
About 1/2 pkg. of dry ranch dressing, add more at the end if needed after taste test
2 green onions
 3/4 cup shredded cheese (sharp or cheddar)
1/2 cup chopped almonds (got the salted almonds)
Blend together, I use hand beaters

Taste...  Add more of any of the above if it still taste too cream cheesy...
Chopped almonds on the outside.  We've made it look like a turkey with peppers and crackers, or like a christmas tree.
Enjoy.
