When I mentioned the special occasion to Phillip he suggested Cheesecake Pie, so the girls and I put on our aprons and got to work.
Cheesecake Pie
1 (9-inch) baked graham cracker crust
1 (8-ounce) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (14-ounce) sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In large mixer bowl, beat cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Pour into prepared pie crust. Chill 3 hours or until set.
We also made RuthAnn's Hillbilly Spaghetti Pie. She uses a cast iron pan, but since I don't have one, a 9 x 13 pan worked great, too.
A few minutes under the broiler got the mozzarella nice and bubbly. Definitely a repeat recipe!
This week we'll be getting ready for Grace's 11th birthday. I can't believe the 1st of February is right around the corner!
There's just a day for everything now, isn't there. But, pies are definitely worth celebrating :)

I've never heard of spaghetti pie, but it looks so good! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli! The pies look good. Pie is a favorite of our family too.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week. I know that you and Grace will have fun planning her birthday party. Love, Debbi
Hi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteThe pies look wonderful. I have never had Spaghetti pie but definitely will have to try it. I hope you have fun getting ready for Grace's Birthday! Parties are soo much fun!
Have a blessed week!
Hugs,

Both pies look delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe for the cheesecake and the link for the spaghetti pie.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Looks good to me too! Grace's birthday!? Time is flying by Kelli! I wish we could stop it!
ReplyDeleteGood looking pies. But they are not on my diet.LOL
ReplyDeleteEverything looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Chinese New Year today!
ReplyDeleteeverything looks so delicious! i guess i better get my apron out and start making some pie too!
ReplyDeleteNow Kelli ifyou are going to be a Texas girl you've got to get a cast iron pan! Go to Wal Mart they have them. I grew up in TX and couldn't make it without mine.
ReplyDeleteYour food all looks wonderful. We celebrated National Pie Day with chocolate pie. Yumm!
I am reading and I am hungry as I skipped breakfast and the pie and the spaghetti look so good. I love it when recipes are shared as I am working on a computer recipe file/blog thing and I will snatch recipes where ever I can find them :>)
ReplyDeleteGood wishes for a really nice day,
Roberta Anne
As if we need an excuse to eat pie??? Everything looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteYour cheesecake pie looks yummy! Ruthann's Hillbilly spaghetti pie is making it's debut! It's cooking now for our dinner tonight! I blogged about it last night! Wonder how many folks will be consuming the goodness of Hillbilly pie this week! Thanks for all the great food and decorating ideas! I'm going to try to get a jump on Papercraft Thur. today. It's snow flurrying here and there's nothing I'd rather do than "play" in my craftroom!
ReplyDeleteCheesecake and spaghetti are two of my favorites. Your's look pretty good. Thanks Kelli. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI saw that recipe ... I guess Im going to have to make it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pie Day :)
Hi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteBoth of those pie recipes look very tempting! I didn't realize it was National Pie Day which sounds like a great reason to bake something yummy!
I agree that it's hard to believe how fast Feb is approaching. Didn't we just celebrate New Years Day??
xo
Both of these combinations looks yummy! I love pies so much more than cakes. Never made a cheesecake one so gotta try that.
ReplyDeleteBoth recipes look inviting. I headed over to get the spaghetti pie recipe. Thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, it all looks so good. I'm glad to be reminded of that spaghetti pie recipe - yum!!
ReplyDeleteYUM! Pie! I printed that recipe too! We may have that tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBabies grow up way too fast, don't they?
Blessings
Linda
My goodness, I need some pie! I love spaghetti pie and you have the perfect dessert to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day,
Kathi :)
Yum! We had spaghetti pie (similar recipe) on Thursday last week. Had I known it was pie day, I would have waited.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear all your plans for Grace's birthday.
TJ
I Love your recipes and can't wait to try this one! It looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kelli. It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOkay, YUM!! I'll have to try that spaghetti pie. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi from another Kelli! Can I come for dinner?? Yum!
ReplyDeleteOh, I got that recipe and have been wanting to try it - I don't have a cast iron either...glad to see it looks just as delicious in a glass pan!! Definitely on the menu this week...
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate "Pi" day on March 14th. 3.14... pi.
ReplyDeleteKelli, how did you make that badge that says kellis show & tell. I'm trying to make myself a little box with my info on it. I'd appreciate it if you can give me some feedback on it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYummy! I wish I could get away with a no bake cheese cake around here, but as I was once upon a time a 'cheesecake chef' and my dh loves his cheesecake 'dense' I only make the really thick rich NY stick to your hips kind of cheese cake! Onle once a year! I miss my Mum's light fluffy Cheerio cheesecake with the cherry pie fill on the top!
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot about National Pie day. Your Cheesecake looks good and funny I posted about making that exact same Hillbilly Spagetti Pie and my family loved it.
ReplyDeleteThe pie looks great! Start selling them and ship me one! lol I have never heard of the spaghetti pie!
ReplyDeleteYum,Looks really good.
ReplyDeleteIs that a lasagna? uhm... nope I guess.. it's spaghetti pie!
ReplyDeleteBoth recipes look delicious!
ReplyDeleteKelli both recipes look and sound like comfort food! Yumm!
ReplyDeleteOh Yum! Thanks for the recipe! You have a delightful blog! ~Maryjane
ReplyDeleteI did NOT know about National Pie Day, but it definitely sounds like my kind of day! Your cheesecake pie looks delicious, and the spaghetti pie, with all of that melted cheese...YUM! :-)
ReplyDeleteI also wouldn't mind knowing how you did the personalized sign. I think though that you have a different blog template than I do. I don't seem to be able to do a lot with mine...?
ReplyDeleteLove pie. I saw that recipe too. I'm going to have to try it. Mimi
ReplyDeleteThe pie sounds great and so easy. If I had the crust I could make one today. Don't know if we'll be going anywhere or not today, kind of snowed in. I never knew there was a National Pie Day.
ReplyDeleteYour cheesecake pie and Ruthann's Spaghetti pie both look wonderful! I don't have a cast iron either, glad to know it worked well without it.
ReplyDeleteMany sweet blessings!
I love pie....and I missed this special day. I need to celebrate. The Spaghetti Pie looks yummy too...hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteBoth pies look very delicious!

ReplyDeleteThere goes another holiday I missed. Do Brownies have a day...I made some yesterday.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, Mary
That spaghetti recipe looks so good. I'll have to try it. And your cheesecake recipe seems so easy.
ReplyDeleteNow, Kelli, I'm gonna have to scold you.
You. Need. An. Iron. Skillet.
I'm just talkin' to ya' like a mother!
Love,
Nancy
I just ate and after looking at this I'm hungry again! That cheesecake pie looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteOOH, you made her hillbilly pie? I was thinking about it too but I don't have a cast iron pan either. I'm thinking about getting one for sure now!
ReplyDeleteYour Spaghetti Pie looks delicious! I knew there was a pie day, but not when. How great to celebrate it!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, I was reading your blog and I had to comment on the cheesecake pie... it looks so easy to make and I have to confess, I love the taste of non-baked cheesecakes! When I make cheesecake I have to try it before taking to the oven...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipes! Mmmmm!
