Banana Mallow Pie for HOME

"Having a place to go - is a home.
Having someone love you - is a family.
Having both is a blessing." ~ Donna Hedges

Hello friends and welcome to my HOME! What a week we've had since last week!
I'm sorry, I didn't get anything posted for HOME last week. We had a horrible blizzard and then another snow storm/ice storm this week which left many without power. I had a flu bug yesterday but feeling better today. We're still waiting for Spring to arrive.

Today I am sharing a pie recipe which I have shared before. This is easy and oh, so good!

Banana Mallow Pie

First you will need a pie crust. You can use your own or a store bought one. I prefer to make my own.

1 - 4 serving size package vanilla pudding & pie filling. {You may use instant or cooked pudding. I have used both and they both turn out well.}
1-1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 bananas, sliced
Lemon juice

Method:
Prepare pie filling as directed on the box only using 1-3/4 cups milk. Cover with wax paper, chill.
Whip the cream until it forms peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream and marshmallows into the pudding.
Set aside while you dip the bananas in lemon juice and place them on the bottom of the pie crust.
Spread the filling over the bananas and chill.
Just before serving, whip up some sweetened cream and spread over the top of the filling. Garnish with sliced bananas and peanuts.
Peanuts are optional. Serve and enjoy!

Yum!

Thank you for visiting today. Take care and have a wonderful rest of the week.

Lord, this humble house we'd keep
Sweet with play and calm with sleep.
Help us so that we may give
Beauty to the lives we live.
Let Thy beauty and Thy grace
Shine upon our dwelling place. ~ Edgar A. Guest

A Little Chintz for Tea Time

Like seeds dreaming beneath the snow, your heart dreams of spring. ~ Kahlil Gibran

Welcome friends to my last Tea Time Tuesday in March. I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Since my last tea party our Island was engulfed by a dangerous blizzard with hurricane force winds and accompanied by almost two feet of snow. Today we are having freezing rain and they are calling for another snow storm tomorrow. Spring, where art thou?

What should be starting to look like spring, is still looking a lot like winter. But winter cannot last forever, can it??

Therefore, I'm feeling like some pretty chintz today. Chintz is a pick-me-upper.

My Maxwell and Williams Rose Bud teapot stands at the ready. I like this teapot because it's very light in weight and easy to handle. The pretty chintz makes it pleasing to look at.

It is holding Cranberry Autumn tea sent to me by a sweet blogging friend and it's delicious!

I am dreaming of springtime. Pink Shasta daisies help lift my spirits.

The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size. ~ Gertrude S. Wister

Rose Chintz made by Gracie China is today's first teacup.

The plate beneath it is Maxwell and Williams Rose Bud, a mate to the teapot and my next teacup. I like the saucer of this set as it is shaped somewhat like a bowl and therefore catches the drips very well.

Chocolate and Strawberries....

These chocolates are really mini chocolate covered cheesecakes and I am going to indulge a bit today.

Would you like to join me? There is a comfy chair on each side of the fireplace. Please make yourself at home.

A cup of tea, a sweet, and the latest Victoria Bliss magazine helps me to reflect on all things beautiful.
