"This southern classic is very rich. When I moved to OH and told someone that I was making this pie they said "What kinda pie is that"? I was in shock....I grew up on chess pie...must be a southern thing."

I currently reside in a quaint little town on Lake Erie. I spend most of my time caring for my three children (DH,DS,DD). My love of cooking comes from my deeply rooted southern upbringing. I love to entertain and people enjoy my vittles.
