Favorite flavors???????

[Memmey]

What are your favorite flavors? Are you a chocolate person? Do you like coconut? We had a joke in my family that my Sweet little MaMa(deceased) would buy one roll of lifesavers cause my sister and I didn't eat the same ones LOL One roll was enough to satisfy us.

Here's mine: Lemon. lime. orange. pineapple, coconut...(not chocolate, if I never ate it ever again I wouldn't miss it) Also anise I like that too.

What's ya"lls peference?:D :D :D

[RoseMary]

Well, I confess to loving chocolate. But I try not to eat too much of it. After that, I'd have to say lemon, orange and cinnamon--not necessarily mixed together! I also LOVE peach pie!

[Chyna]

some of these I'm really limited on since they found out I'm allergic to peanuts and soy. :( Chocolate (cheap has soy in it), peach, lemon, lime, coconut, papaya (life savers), orange, geez I can't think of anything I don't like. Kiwi is not one of my faves.... all time favorite ice cream. Peanut butter chocolate chip. Can you feel my pain on this one?:(

[Breezy]

Like RoseMary I too love chocolate. I also love key lime pie - I'm drooling thinking about it.:)

[Chyna]

mmmmm peanut butter......uh huhhh quick someone grab the epipen!;)

[cheapdiva]

mmmm . . .

key lime, yes! coconut creme, yes! banana creme, yes! lemon merengue, yes, yes!!! Or a good piece of fine chocolate - or reese's peanut butter cups. Okay, that's enough torture!

[RoseMary]

You should all know that thanks to this thread I am planning on making a lemon merengue pie tomorrow. I'll blame all those extra pounds on y'all:D

[Memmey]

RM My Mother used to make a lemonade pie: graham cracker crust. Filling:1 can eagle brand milk, 1 small tub of cool whip and 1 can frozen lemonade(not diluted). You can top how ever you like. I just put a thin layer of cool whip( not too much) Trust me it's tart and so good. Food Food Food:eek: Sorry

[RoseMary]

Sounds delicious! I'll put those ingredients on my grocery list!

[cheapdiva]

here is one similiar to mem's - yogurt pie

1 graham cracker crust
2 containers of fruit yogurt (I use Dannon's because of the real fruit)
container of cool whip

mix yogurt and cool whip, pour into pie crust and freeze for a couple of hours, then move to fridge.

i usually buy some fruit to top with - like grate fresh lemon on top of a lemon yogurt pie, or add berries (even frozen for those of us who live somewhere cold) to the top.

I have taken this pie many places and people love it and it is EASY!!!

[RoseMary]

Sounds good--and easy cheapdiva--always a bonus. Well, my pie is made. Y'all should come on over and have a piece:D . I almost made peanut butter pie, but decided to stick with the lemon.

[RoseMary]

I should have posted this earlier when we were talking about things that are easy to make. I take this to a lot of church pot-lucks.

Bake a yellow cake mix. As soon as it is out of the oven, poke holes in it and pour a can of sweetened condensed milk (not eagle brand--I love it but it doesn't taste right in this cake--any other brand will do) then pour a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple over that. When it is cool, top with Cool Whip and sprinkle with coconut. Keep refrigerated. Fast, easy and very good--especially the next day.

[Memmey]

YOU BETTER STOP..I'm gonna chew my arm off :D Pineapple and coconut my favorites and then the lemon pie. Rosemary this is not funny , I'm starving. I can barley tie my shoes now and I'm dreaming of pineapple and coconut cake. By the way anything you pour eagle brand on is good:p :p :p :p

[RoseMary]

Hey Memmey, I LOVE Eagle Brand, but for some reason it just tastes 'funny' in this cake. I can eat the stuff out of the can:D

[Memmey]

When I was pregant with my son I would put lemon juice in a bowl with eagel brand and put it in the freezer till it got real cold and then I would eat it with vanilla wafers.CRAZY:eek: craving.

[RoseMary]

That actually does not sound too bad. Lemon tastes great in eagle brand and vanilla wafers are good with everything. Guess it was sort of like lemon pudding.

[Memmey]

ice box pie:D

I love chocolate...it's a family trait. My brother told me that his 4-year old said to him "Daddy, I love you. Can I have some chocolate?" Yep, she's got it bad. I like coffee too. Not lattes, but plain old strong drip coffee with half and half in it.

I think it was Memmey who was talking about Lifesavers. We used to get them when we were kids--I think moms and grammas would carry them in their purses to distract us. These days I carry Jolly Rancher hard candies in my work pack when we're out on the trail. Some days can get real long, or we have an especially challenging task. Or have to hike uphill in the rain. I pull out the Jolly Ranchers and we all turn into kids again. It's amazing how a piece of candy can lift your spirits. A couple of the girls have to arm wrestle over who gets the watermelon ones. After the candy melts we stick our colored tongues out at each other. Did you do that when you were kids?

[cheapdiva]

do it as a kid? what makes you think most of us on this board wouldn't do it NOW:p

[Memmey]

who ya!!!!:D

[RoseMary]

Pictures, please!:D

[dedavis]

Yeah, we still do it too. I'll send pictures the next time we have a Jolly Rancher feast.

That's the secret of youth, to always act young. At 46, I have no idea what it means to "act my age". I guess that's why I'm still out there climbing hills and chopping logs and eating candy. And playing in the dirt and drawing pictures. I'm not going to grow up, in spite of hot flashes!
