Dreamy Recipe -Peanut Butter Pie

One day, a good friend of mine brought me a piece of Peanut Butter Pie. She said that her dad had made it so I called up Mr. Lowery and begged him for the recipe. With a smile on his face he said, "Now, Queen, you know I can't do that!" I was like, "Come on Mr. Lowery, please, please, please, give me the recipe!!!"

He told me that in order for me to become the best at my craft, I have to learn to use my taste buds to guide me to replicate whatever it was I was tasting. This way, you can make it "Yours".

That was the best advice anyone had ever given to. Here is what I came up with.

Don't forget to leave me a small comment to let me know that you were here!!!

Happy Baking
