Peaches and Cream Pie

I’m in the baking mood and need some sweetness on this blog.   I made this pie about a year ago and remade it again tonight,  I thought I’d throw this idea out there as to what to bring to the table this Thanksgiving for those of you that want to change it up a bit. This delicious recipe is packed with a yummy combination of peaches and cream cheese in a nice light buttery crust.  It’s like a cheesecake and pie together.   It is a very easy recipe to make, the crust definitely doesn’t seem like a crust  that you need to work with as you skip the refrigerating than rolling it out steps, you just mix and pour.   I found this Award winning Peaches and Cream Pie at All Recipes.,…..

Mix the easy crust together and add some canned sliced peaches on top..

Mix in the Cream Cheese mixture and spread evenly on top of the Peaches….

Bake for 40 Minutes than add it to the refrigerator for a couple of hours to let the cream cheese set in like a cheesecake and Wa La…

The Slaw Dog in Woodland Hills

I  bookmarked “The Slaw Dog” from all the great reviews I’ve read on yelp and was equally impressed by the flavors.  Let me first start off by saying I’m a huge “Carney’s” fan and it is my go to hot dog place.  After trying  The Slaw Dog,  I’ve found another great place for hot dogs if I’m not craving my favorite Red Barron Polish Dog from Carneys.  Really great flavor combinations even ones you wouldn’t think would work together.    I had the Rueben Polish Dog, just so much meat happening in that dog, nice spicy sausage along with Pastrami, cheese and sauerkraut.  I just wished they chopped up the pastrami on the dog more better.  I warn you….these are very messy hot dogs and I don’t recommend taking a date there just because I was wearing most of my food as I left the place or long pieces of pastrami was attractively hanging out of my mouth .   I tasted the Thai Dog with Chicken Sausage and it was amazing, the flavors worked out so great together.  Crispy Onion rings, chili fries nice and crisp.  They have 3 tables inside with 4 chairs and about 2 Bar type tables with 2 seats each and than the tables outside that is too hot to sit at.  Located on Ventura Blvd in Woodland Hills.
