Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Guilt-Free Cherry Pie

Original Recipe from:  Kay Johnson-Tomblin

This pie was a favorite of the Gibraltar Fire Department Potluck Events in the 1980’s.  The fire department was 100% volunteer.  The firefighters and their families created an extended family.  Every event was a family affair and very often spontaneous.  We each brought a dish and recipes were shared with pride.  Those events were an opportunity to seek out new recipes to share with the group; my recipe collection grew tremendously during those years.

The original recipe was not “guilt-free”.  I made it “guilt-free” by substituting regular pudding and regular pie filling with sugar-free because I was searching for a reduced sugar dessert.  Make it either way you prefer.  Enjoy!



Ingredients

1 package sugar-free Instant Vanilla Pudding
1 cup Sour Cream (I use Neufchatel)
3/4 cup Milk
1 large can sugar-free Cherry Pie Filling (or Strawberry)
Graham Cracker Crust


Directions

Mix Pudding, Sour Cream, and Milk together until thickened.  Pour into the Pie Crust.  Top with Pie Filling.  Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.  Serve chilled, keep refrigerated.
