THE JOHNNY CASH PINEAPPLE PIE

THIS...my darlings,
is a SOUTHERN CLASSIC!
This pie comes with  HISTORY....
JOHNNY Cash told many about a Pineapple Pie
his mother made which was his all time favorite!
It's made with CRUSHED pineapple, sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla!
The South loves tradition like sweet tea and chicken and dumplings...
And of course, Mom's cooking....but, I added a delicious
surprise when making this southern classic..... 



After 50 minutes., the pie had a lovely golden color and the filling
was set perfectly...a delightful taste of summer if you ask me.....

How pretty is this pie?

You can also serve this warm or cold with
sweetened whipped cream......

This is my surprise addition.....
rather than using crushed pineapple, I chose to substitute..
this delightful Pineapple fruit filling......

It came out perfectly...five star rating by the boys......

Thank you Johnny Cash for sharing your Mom's best Pineapple Pie recipe..

and for all the good memories we have of your songs.....

I have been part of a love affair...yes, I certainly have......
with Target's OPALHOUSE home goods line!
This set of melamine plates was my very first purchase

from Opalhouse when it first appeared in stores.

I purchased this gorgeous canvas print last year
for the upstairs Jack and Jill bathroom....
I just love the vibrant colors in this boho chic line!

Now, here are a few new additions I purchased recently....
this beautiful bath towel...so thick and luxurious!

And, this vibrant, delicious smelling candle...
this just speaks SUMMER to me.....
the scent is just over the moon good......

I'm bringing this to the beach with us.....

Lastly, this beautiful Pink Capiz Plug- In Wallflower

to go with this SEASIDE COCONUT WARMING OIL!

It's fun to create a certain seasonal vibe throughout the house!

I would love to know what your recent home purchases have been!
