I’ve confessed my love for cookies many times. I often joke that a balanced diet is a cookie in each hand. I’m here with another confession. I love pie. I really love pie. Thank goodness I like making pie almost as much as I like eating pie.
Just for you, I’m combining our favorite pie blogs into one!

This recipe holds a special place in my heart because it comes from the cookbook my mother used when she and my dad were first married. She died when I was a toddler so I have no memories of her. My dad said she was a good cook but he doesn’t remember if she made him this pie. I like to think she did, and that he loved it. I think of her when I make it, makes me feel closer to her.
Marie Callender’s was a popular restaurant in Southern California where I grew up. It was a special day when we went there just for dessert. My two favorite pies were the sour cream pie topped with freshly sliced peaches and lemon meringue pie. Oh, their lemon pie was so good. Lucky for me I started dating Mark because his mom’s pie was just as good as Marie’s. And, she liked me enough to share the recipe! This one is totally RV friendly, probably with a store bought crust so you don’t have to haul a rolling pin around. The lemon filling is done in the microwave and the meringue comes together in a snap.
The easiest pie by far is this one. Total time is less than five minutes. The hardest part will be looking at it chilling in the refrigerator until it’s ready to be devoured. Five ingredients is all you need, a chocolate graham cracker crust, chocolate pudding, cream cheese, cool whip and some milk. I can just about guarantee this will rocket to the top of your easy dessert list with the first bite.
