Meme's Chess Tart

"This tart is based on a classic southern pie, oozes with gooey custard and has a simple cookie-crumb crust. Modified this from a recipe from Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Tried making it as low-carb/low sugar friendly as possible, the family loved it! I'm thinking pecan crust next time...mmmmmmmm an upside down pecan pie! Let me know what you think."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I'm just a good ol country girl that loves to create! I call it creating...not cooking. I got this love from my mother (Love you!) and Granny (Miss you somethin aweful-RIP). <br /> <br />I'm a homemaker and I've started my own buisness. &nbsp;I have two wonderful children and three of the most beautiful, loving, sweetest grand children in the world! (I lovingly refer to all of us as the Family Circus) &nbsp;My children have inherited my love of cooking; they've been helping me since they could stand in a chair in the kitchen! My grand children are learning this love as well! <br /> <br />Then theres lots of people that have adopted me...lol. Many because they love my cooking. The others...well I haven't figured out yet why, but they always seem to show up just before dinner is being served. &nbsp;Cook'em some good ol southern soul food and they just might ask if they can move in!<br /> <br />I'm always looking for new recipes and I follow the directions (the first time anyways). Then if we like it, I'll modify it and make it my own. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
