My wife is a awesome Hilbilly Cooker!!! I’m a Hillbilly dish washer with a good appetite for good home cooking and smart enough to know not every artist’s creation turns out perfect every time, I always say Honey that was the best you ever made, cause if you got a woman that Loves you enough to cook for you, you are Blessed!!!
I remember when my wife cooked my first meal. She knew I loved soup beans. She made a pot full. They was crunchy as a lays tater chip but she asked ...how are they ? Are they good ? Luckily I had my mouth full and had time to think. I thought ...if I say theyr not good it'll kill her confidence and she'll never try again do I said ...yes indeed . Then I gently made a suggestion and I been eating delicious beans for 44 years now
My grandmother survived the depression and bought herself a kitchen aid mixter. When she died, it went to me, when my daughter moved away to culinary school it went to her. She's a full time cook, 25, still using grandma's mixer. Never repaired, replaced, tuned up, nada.
@@sallyroses she said it's a kitchen aid mixer hun... I just think that items are not made to last anymore. Washer and dryers would last lifetimes... We are lucky if they last 10 years before repairs are needed. As a consumer its frustrating, for the company's making these appliances they know if their product is made to last lifetime s then we (consumers) wont normally upgrade as often as they would prefer. Cheaper made products=more sales. Built to last they won't have enough turnaround sales.
So I'm closing in on 72 years old. Back when I was about 9 years old I had a great-grandma name, Sara Lunt and she was born in the northwestern part of North Carolina. She had that Appalachian drawl. I would sit for hours just to listen to her talk. This is the real reason I enjoy your channel. I can close my eyes and be with my great-grandma listening to you talk. Thank you for the blessing and memory revival.
That was a lovely comment. I can relate. I miss my mom.....she showed love through her cooking. For you, hearing this lady's accent brings it all back. For me, every food or recipe, and smells bring back the memories. 🙏
I am 60+ years old and still can remember helping Grandma bake peach and blackberry pies in the hills of North Carolina. Oh, what I wouldn't give to stand there with her once again.
Growing old has never really concerned me. I had no good looks to lose!! And I had always been around wonderful elderly people, so I knew old age was nothing to fear. But the one thing that makes aging so painful is having to say goodbye to all the people who loved me more than I could ever love them in return. I still have dreams of my grandmother's kitchen and her sister's kitchen in southwest Virginia. Those are the most precious memories of my life.
My first memory of blackberries is my grandmama cooking either a pie or a cobbler with them down on her and granddaddy’s South Georgia farm when I was visiting and only about 6 years old. They are still one of my favorite things ever, for jelly or cobbler. I live in Washington state now and there are more blackberries here than any place I have ever seen. All our rain really encourages those things. My granddaddy’s family was from North Carolina and my Daddy’s from Kentucky.
Not that long ago, I moved from Texas to Virginia, and I was pleasantly surprised that my accent fit right in from day one; I'm also happy to report that southern courtesy and hospitality is alive and well.
My New Hampshire husband laughs at me when I say something about his Yankee accent. I am from Jackson. Mississippi and have a wicked Southern accent that he laughs at. I am so proud of my Southern heritage, so who cares, right.
As a Texan when i moved to CT at 17 everyone there put me down and made fun of my accent. The cashier at the store, my Dr to the cop who came when our house got broken in to all made fun of me and insinuated i was an idiot hillbilly. I then moved to Washington state and same thing but on a smaller scale. Lets just say i couldn't wait to get back home where southern hospitality and manners exist lol
@@nomdeplume2213 I live in the South and never noticed manners. I found the best manners were in Pittsburgh PA where Iived for 4 years. Lived in NYC for a few years and I found those people would help you under any conditions even if they were a bit brusk. Maybe Southern hospitality is only for certain folks.
FYI, I live in South Florida so obviously I had to try this recipe using key lime juice instead of lemon juice. It turned out to be an excellent tasting key lime pie. So easy even an old dude can make it. My nephew thought it was delicious and wanted to know where I bought the pie from. 😂 Thank you for posting this recipe. Now I can bring a homemade no bake desert to family get togethers without risking burning the house down. 👍
I am a single dad that loved cooking for my children. Teaching them how to cook and letting them make their own mistakes. Which were delicious! This was a great video, thank you.
In a world full of stress and sadness, this channel makes me calm and happy. I'm not even from Appalachia, but close enough to know the culture a bit. Thanks!
My grandparents went through the depression and as long as my grandmother lived, nobody went hungry when she was around. And don't think you were leaving before you ate. 😊
I never did either, until I watched the way take out food was handled by the ones that worked with it, it was gross.. Bloody fingers and dirty cooking areas..and reading the chemicals in the labels.. if I had a magic wand I'd give you the gift of food curiosity. ❤️
My mother called this icebox cheesecake. She sometimes poured a can of cherry pie filling on top, you know, when we were living large, after it started settling up. This was my favorite dessert. Thanks for you, your channel, the recipes, and the memories.
This kind of no-bake with a can of cherry pie filling on top is my brother's preferred "birthday cake" that mom still makes for him every year to this day.
My mother expressed her love through her cooking. She was Pennsylvania Dutch, and had many recipes she learned from her childhood, and I didn't realize, at the time, what an excellent cook she was. While my father was not a cook, per se, he was good at making oatmeal, and popcorn. My mother admitted his oatmeal was better than hers. 😁 So many wonderful memories of my mother cooking, baking, and canning. She hardly ever sat down! How I wish I had half her energy! This recipe looks delicious! I no longer eat desserts, but wouldn't mind to try a bit of this cheese cake!
@@davidperry7271 Very southern/Appalachian/Ozark term I think. If my granny was in the kitchen not doing anything in particular.....maybe organizing her cabinets, she would say she was messin and gommin.
@@anderander5662 Thank you for the explanation! I saw another comment on a different thread which used a different spelling, which actually came up in a dictionary definition “gaum.” So I guess it would be called “gaumming.” But of course the iPhone dictionary that my phone uses doesn’t include it and puts a red line under it haha.
My family are from the Appalachia area, central Appalachia to be precise. We have an accent similar to this woman’s but it sounds a little different. I get asked all the time when I’m on vacation out of state “where are you from”? Lol Or, “your accent is strong”. I say just yup, I got that Appalachia accent. 😂
I agree. Cheesecake doesn’t need topping or fancy flavorings. I sure wish my granny had encouraged me to cook with her and I’d grown up knowing her recipes. I really appreciate y’all sharing yours.
I really love your culture I feel like I got cheated All though growing up in Grants Pass Oregon was a wonderful child hood Thank you so much for sharing God bless
I hadn't thought about what my mom had made in year's. We were a big family in the Midwest with 3 boys and 2 girls. To be honest I only remember a few desserts since my brothers literally ate like starving fools but I do remember my moms quick no bake cheesecake and her chocolate bread pudding with farm fresh cream poured on top. Your video took me back 60 years to a Sunday dinner where my family sat at the table all together eating, the only time during the week. Thanks so much.
I've been making this for a few years,about 26yrs, and love to hear that this is not just an east Texas dessert but others from the USA make this. Thank you for so many of your recipes which are so much like the way I've learned to cook over the years.
Cookers around the world making people happy 😊✌️ Miss those days at my grandparents and Grandma in the kitchen. I can smell the many different aromas in my mind to this day! Thanks for sharing Tipper 🙏🌹
Lol......my mother used to say that to us kids, "Now don't go in there and gom that kitchen up." (With a Kentucky accent). I was so happy to hear it used again. My mother was the finest woman I ever knew. I miss her still.❤
Another trick to use for keeping the crust from getting soggy is spreading a very thin layer of straight cream cheese over it to seal it up. We make close to the same with cream cheese softened with sugar and fold in cool whip. Sometimes we'll pour chocolate pudding on top for a special icebox pie. You are super sweet - Please keep sharing!
My mom made this exact cheese cake back in the 70's-she still makes it today for my dad, it's his favorite dessert-they grew up in Texas....we put cherries on ours...
My grandma was the first person to let me help cook. I love cooking for friends and family . Feeding people is a blessing and part of service to God through caring for others. What a wonderful gift.
I didn't know your mom died so young...a mom is so precious you know. Sharing cooking times and when you have your family its precious to have a mama's love. Perhaps that's why God gave you two beautiful daughters 🤷♀️💜💜💜
You said "right now, in a minute". My mother said that all the time. My friends in the "north" would say how silly it sounded. Thank you for that wonderful memory.
My granny made something similar but she would sometimes make a ginger snap crust, a little extra lemon in the filling and for the decoration on top would pick just a small sprig of mint and place it in the center of the top of the pie. It was so pretty in the summer!
love the ginger snap crust, esp with any lemon pie. also, if you run out of graham crackers, use nilla wafers or animal crackers for a more neutral flavor.
My family background is Mennonite, also known for their cooking! I would LOVE to see more recipes on your channel! I so enjoy hearing your stories and kitchen stuff... PS. We also grew up saying “redd up” when it came to tidying up a room! I was so surprised to hear that on one of your other videos!
You are so sweet and wholesome. My childhood was in the 80s in Oklahoma but everything you talk about concerning food is so familiar and makes me happily homesick for my grannies. Thanks for the recipe, never tried this one but I will.
Personally, I like to pick up a pre-baked pie shell (pastry, not graham cracker) and do a mix of cream cheese, ricotta, vanilla and amaretto liqueur and then top it off w/ sliced strawberries and other fresh berries. Still pretty quick to throw together and make a nice summer dessert.
Oh YUM !!! Thank you for sharing your easy recipe and YES I'm going to try. My quick go to recipe is similar it's called Angel Pie. It has just a few ingredients as well. 1 - 8oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powder sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1- 8oz tub cool whip or homemade whipped cream. Mix cream cheese and powder sugar adding vanilla, and mix well. Fold in whipped cream/cool whip until well blended and spoon into a graham cracker crust and place in fridge . Fab with or without topping like pie filling and makes a pretty high dreamy pie
Yummy. I’ve made this before but it was so much fun listening to you explain your history with Granny. What precious memories that can’t be taken away.
Just thank you. My dad's family came to the US before the revolution, but my grandmother had passed on before I was born. So it was my mother, who was a refugee that survived the holocaust and the Russians after WWII who taught me to bake. My go to recipe from her was a Kuchen she made from a buttery sugar and vanilla dough rolled out on a baking sheet and then topped with your favorite fruit. She would slice apples on top and then make a toping of sugar, flour, cinnamon. Bake it at 350 until golden brown. So that became my go to recipe. After you can serve it as it is, or with ice cream, or even topped with whipped cream. Thank you so much for sharing who you are. Its just wonderful and greatly appreciated.
My wife makes this with Nilla Wafer crust, we like it in the morning with coffee. She got the recipe on RUclips. I believe it was among recipes called ice box recipes brought out in the 1950's by the refrigerator companies. We are Pennsylvania Appalachian born folks living in the hills of southern New York. Love your videos.
Food is the glue that binds a family together! Children still come for Sunday dinner as much as possible... I use my great aunts cheesecake recipe! Super simple but well loved! Thank you for sharing a bit from your family!
My mom would ALWAYS make mini versions of this in cupcake liners for our family's wedding receptions when I was a child. She would top them with cherry pie filling or canned pineapple. Very nostalgic
I have made this recipe in cupcake tins and paper liners. You just drop in a vanilla wafer and put your filling over it. Once cooked you can add your choice of topping. It is a nice touch for the 4th of July to add cherry and blueberry topping.
My mom use to make a prune cake, sounds awful but it was good, and i hate prunes. She also made sweet bread and a walnut cake that was good. She was from Cullawee if i spelled it correctly in North Carolina. She passed away in 2008 and i still miss her.
Thank you Tipper for sharing your childhood stories cooking with your granny and granny's granny. The only memory I have of my great grandma was her cooking a meal as I watched her cook on wood-fired outdoor kitchen when I was 2. That's all I can remember of her.
This blessed my heart. My Grandmaw (raised in WNC) passed away 6 years ago and I remember back to when on Sundays she would always cook Sunday dinner. She took such joy in cooking for her family and of course we couldn’t wait to see my grandmaw, aunts, uncles and cousins. This brings back so many memories. One thing she always had was this dessert. She had to make several of them to feed the bunch. She always had a cherry topping. I haven’t eaten this in probably 30 years. I made this the day after I watched this and it tasted just like I remember. Never thought it would have been that simple. Thank you for sharing.
Made two of these in less than a week. Absolutely the best cheesecake I've ever had. Took some to my 47 year old baby in the hospital. She loves it and is getting better. Thanks for the care. Thanks for the prayer. Thanks for the share.
I am new to your channel and absolutely love ❤️ watching you cook and listening to your family stories . It’s refreshing to listen and learn about the Appalachia culture. Thank you so much for sharing this way of life to those that adore this type of folklore and way of life.
I have fond memories of my grandmother and her allowing me to help in the kitchen. She taught me so much by letting me "GOM". Haven't heard that word in years. Keep sharing.....love watching your videos
I absolutely love cheesecake. If I weren’t on a weight loss diet, I’d be in the kitchen putting one together. Now if you had a great recipe for biscuits.... I’d be all over that. Thank you for sharing and especially speaking so lovingly about your granny. She sounded wonderful...
2 C whole wheat flour, 2 C white flour, 1 t salt, 4 t baking powder. Mix well. Cut in 1/2 a cup of soft butter. Sour 1 1/3 C rich milk with a dab of vinegar. Mix into dry ingredients lightly, pat out on a floured counter, at least 1/2-3/4 inches thick. Cut into about 2 inch squares and place on a baking sheet. (I don't waste time with a circle cutter, but feel free to if you like) 425 degrees for about 12 minutes; they should rise high. Makes about 16. 40 million calories, but who's counting?!
I make a similar cheesecake pretty frequently. I throw in chocolate chips and glaze it with a chocolate ganache on top (and leave out the lemon) and it's super quick and delicious!
This dessert is to die for, its soooo good. My mom called it a "cherry O pie". She would use cherry pie filling on top, and just a lil drop of red food coloring in the mixing just to give the pie a lite pink color. This is like the 'holy grail" of desserts for me.
I spent four years in Weaverville with my grandmother. Watching her cook, and eating her food, and it spills over to me as a grand mother. She didn’t have a lot of time to teach, because she worked full time at Hadley Sweater factory, and had seven grandchildren to care for. I love Sunday dinners, sweet tea, and peach cobbler. We still have Sunday suppers with our children, and grandchildren. Thank you for bringing back a flood of sweet memories.
I love watching you. It kind of makes me teary eyed because you're kind of like someone's aunt showing them how to make things. No one really ever did that with me. Thank you.
This has all ways been one of my family's favorites and there is never enough! this is the best cheesecake ever I can never under stand why people like the stuff from the store
I love the comment of mess and gum! That is something I heard from my mom as I was growing up. My friend laughed at me for using that comment about my grandchildren visiting me. She had never heard the saying.
I'm from Mississippi and my husband is from West Virginia. I learned how to cook from my granny and mother as well. Mama used to make this same exact recipe. I think she got the recipe from a church cookbook. It is one of my favorite summer desserts for sure. Granny's staple, "go to" dessert was a jelly cake. If you've never heard of that, it is just a basic vanilla/butter, layered cake from scratch with jelly (homemade, any flavor) spread between each layer. It was our pastor's favorite so she made sure to always have it for dinner on the grounds at church. Thank you for sharing. This brought back such precious memories.
That's what I have every year in lieu of a birthday cake for the last.. maybe 40 years? It doesn't taste the same, though, since my Mom's not here to make it.
I’ve made this many times and I’ll usually make a couple of toppings separately because not everyone likes the same thing. Blueberry is a big favourite but I like apple stewed with a little brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla and then just a few lines of caramel sauce over that. Another fast and easy dessert type dish is whipped cream mixed with a bag of mini marshmallows and a well drained can of crushed pineapple mixed together and left to sit for a couple of hours. If I am making it look a little fancy I’ll put Nilla wafers around a glass bowl and put the mixture in them then sprinkle some crushed wafer crumbs over top. I think it was called Pineapple Snow or Fluff in the older Ladies Institute cookbooks. It was popular at picnics and barbecues because you didn’t have to use the stove or oven on hot days and people didn’t want to eat heavy food in the dog days of late August. 🙋🏼
The best feeling in the world is making food that your family loves and asks for again! When my children call me and ask how to make something I've made for them it makes my heart happy! ❤
Oh my goodness, without the cream cheese, that is my family's lemon pie recipe! I will definitely be trying this. Thank you! My go to was banana pudding, in fact I got roped into bringing it for years and years. People were awed by the fact that I topped it with a meringue.
First, my wife and I purchased our Kitchen Aid stand mixer circa 1985, and it appears to be the exact model you have. Second, I do the actual bake in a "ban Marie", or "Tia Maria", if you prefer, but you have inspired me to make it, and I will be buying a few packs of Philly cream cheese tomorrow. Oh, and if you have never tried it, I use pistachios chopped in a food processor mixed with butter and sugar as the crust. Toppings for my wife and me are usually some seasonal fruit, which these days in a suburb of a big city is pretty much anything - but I actually prefer blueberries. Thanks as always!
I was born in '59,, outhouse and no plumbing was normal in the country,,, big gardens and canning your own was normal. Sunday dinner at Grandma&Gramps was normal. aint nothing normal around here anymore. Glad to find a Normal channel,,God Bless Y'all Forever.👍🏼
The Wife makes it the same way, the cooking the art of conversation and ways of the old days is a dying time. People in a big hurry, fast food fast life miss everything, thank you......ATB
Neither my mom nor either of my grandmothers ever made any kind of cheesecake when I was growing up. I think I was a grown adult before I ever tried it. Dessert was usually some kind of cream pie, a cobbler, or a sheet cake best I can remember. I do remember getting hollered at sometimes for "messin and gommin" in the kitchen looking for a late night snack, lol.
My grandfather made the best cheesecake, and to this day I've never experienced a replication of it. I still love cheesecake, but every time I get one I feel like I'm chasing that dragon that I'll inevitably never catch.
Absolute truth! Our family gatherings and fellowship always revolved around sharing a meal together. My Mom frequently made chicken and dumplins and one of my Dad's favorites was oyster stew (we never ate the oysters). Do y'all eat Persimmon Pudding? It's one of our faves for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My Mom passed her recipe, food mill and pan to one of my nieces. Love Celebrating Appalachia with you! Thanks so much for always bringing us happy memories and great info. Love, Jane in SC❤️🙏 Love that quick cheesecake recipe!

I've been making this for a few years,about 26yrs, and love to hear that this is not just an east Texas dessert but others from the USA make this. Thank you for so many of your recipes which are so much like the way I've learned to cook over the years.
Cookers around the world making people happy 😊✌️
Miss those days at my grandparents and Grandma in the kitchen. I can smell the many different aromas in my mind to this day!
Thanks for sharing Tipper 🙏🌹
Oh my gosh! My daddy used to always say “what are y’all doing in there? Messin’ and gommin’” lol💕
😀
I always heard that term growing up in Southwest Virginia...
Me too! A gommy mess.
@@tamakelly2879 so did i i grew up in lee county Va.
Lol......my mother used to say that to us kids, "Now don't go in there and gom that kitchen up." (With a Kentucky accent).
I was so happy to hear it used again. My mother was the finest woman I ever knew. I miss her still.❤
Another trick to use for keeping the crust from getting soggy is spreading a very thin layer of straight cream cheese over it to seal it up.
We make close to the same with cream cheese softened with sugar and fold in cool whip.
Sometimes we'll pour chocolate pudding on top for a special icebox pie.
You are super sweet - Please keep sharing!
I love this recipe. My Daddy used to tell my brother and I "Y'all ain't doing nothing but messin and gummin!". Thanks for making me smile.😊
I could listen to this lady for hours!
My mom made this exact cheese cake back in the 70's-she still makes it today for my dad, it's his favorite dessert-they grew up in Texas....we put cherries on ours...
Cooking is something to really bring a family together.
You can find the recipe here: blindpigandtheacorn.com/do-you-like-cheesecake/ Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for sharing your secret recipe 😁
Love watching your videos, thank you for sharing.
My grandma was the first person to let me help cook. I love cooking for friends and family . Feeding people is a blessing and part of service to God through caring for others. What a wonderful gift.
I will be making this cheesecake ....
I didn't know your mom died so young...a mom is so precious you know. Sharing cooking times and when you have your family its precious to have a mama's love. Perhaps that's why God gave you two beautiful daughters 🤷♀️💜💜💜
I’m so enjoying your videos, especially the stories. That’s a lost art now days.
Glad you like them!
I also love listening to you, thank you
You said "right now, in a minute". My mother said that all the time. My friends in the "north" would say how silly it sounded. Thank you for that wonderful memory.
😀
My granny made something similar but she would sometimes make a ginger snap crust, a little extra lemon in the filling and for the decoration on top would pick just a small sprig of mint and place it in the center of the top of the pie. It was so pretty in the summer!
love the ginger snap crust, esp with any lemon pie. also, if you run out of graham crackers, use nilla wafers or animal crackers for a more neutral flavor.
My family background is Mennonite, also known for their cooking! I would LOVE to see more recipes on your channel! I so enjoy hearing your stories and kitchen stuff... PS. We also grew up saying “redd up” when it came to tidying up a room! I was so surprised to hear that on one of your other videos!
This is one of the greatest channels I've found on RUclips. You do a phenomenal job. Highly enjoy your content. Greetings from Southwest Virginia!!
Glad you enjoy it!
You are so sweet and wholesome. My childhood was in the 80s in Oklahoma but everything you talk about concerning food is so familiar and makes me happily homesick for my grannies. Thanks for the recipe, never tried this one but I will.
Personally, I like to pick up a pre-baked pie shell (pastry, not graham cracker) and do a mix of cream cheese, ricotta, vanilla and amaretto liqueur and then top it off w/ sliced strawberries and other fresh berries. Still pretty quick to throw together and make a nice summer dessert.
That must be delicious
The ricotta adds so much to a cheesecake.
Sounds yumo!
Graham cracker crusts are okay, but I prefer pastry pie shells myself.
Sounds great. How much of each ingredient, please?
Oh YUM !!! Thank you for sharing your easy recipe and YES I'm going to try. My quick go to recipe is similar it's called Angel Pie. It has just a few ingredients as well. 1 - 8oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powder sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1- 8oz tub cool whip or homemade whipped cream. Mix cream cheese and powder sugar adding vanilla, and mix well. Fold in whipped cream/cool whip until well blended and spoon into a graham cracker crust and place in fridge . Fab with or without topping like pie filling and makes a pretty high dreamy pie
This was how my grandma made it. I still have the recipe in my box. I need to make it.
Yummy. I’ve made this before but it was so much fun listening to you explain your history with Granny. What precious memories that can’t be taken away.
Just thank you. My dad's family came to the US before the revolution, but my grandmother had passed on before I was born. So it was my mother, who was a refugee that survived the holocaust and the Russians after WWII who taught me to bake. My go to recipe from her was a Kuchen she made from a buttery sugar and vanilla dough rolled out on a baking sheet and then topped with your favorite fruit. She would slice apples on top and then make a toping of sugar, flour, cinnamon. Bake it at 350 until golden brown. So that became my go to recipe. After you can serve it as it is, or with ice cream, or even topped with whipped cream. Thank you so much for sharing who you are. Its just wonderful and greatly appreciated.
I made this again yesterday but this time I mixed in some wild blackberries we had picked. It was great 👍
You have the best channel on RUclips. Through your work and generosity I get to go back home to my parents and grandparents. What a blessing you are!
Wow, thank you!
My wife makes this with Nilla Wafer crust, we like it in the morning with coffee. She got the recipe on RUclips. I believe it was among recipes called ice box recipes brought out in the 1950's by the refrigerator companies. We are Pennsylvania Appalachian born folks living in the hills of southern New York. Love your videos.
Food is the glue that binds a family together! Children still come for Sunday dinner as much as possible... I use my great aunts cheesecake recipe! Super simple but well loved! Thank you for sharing a bit from your family!
My mom would ALWAYS make mini versions of this in cupcake liners for our family's wedding receptions when I was a child. She would top them with cherry pie filling or canned pineapple. Very nostalgic
I have made this recipe in cupcake tins and paper liners. You just drop in a vanilla wafer and put your filling over it. Once cooked you can add your choice of topping. It is a nice touch for the 4th of July to add cherry and blueberry topping.
Perfect Breakfast any Time of Day
My mom use to make a prune cake, sounds awful but it was good, and i hate prunes. She also made sweet bread and a walnut cake that was good. She was from Cullawee if i spelled it correctly in North Carolina. She passed away in 2008 and i still miss her.
Prune cake with cream cheese icing? My MIL made one that used 2 jars prune baby food! It was ah-mazing!!
@@pupsmom1920 ah yes. Cream cheese icing. Man it was good.
prune = plum
Cullowhee....and it is a very beautiful area of North Carolina!
@@shannonadams3101 i plan on moving back when i retire. I live in GA. now. But yes it is beautiful.
Thank you Tipper for sharing your childhood stories cooking with your granny and granny's granny. The only memory I have of my great grandma was her cooking a meal as I watched her cook on wood-fired outdoor kitchen when I was 2. That's all I can remember of her.
This is one of my favorites too!
Simple life, Simple recipes, are the best,
Love yall, xoxoxo
Hey Ms Lori ! This Chanel Is fun since eastern Ky has so much in common ! Love ya n was shocked to see you !
Hey ms Lori
This blessed my heart. My Grandmaw (raised in WNC) passed away 6 years ago and I remember back to when on Sundays she would always cook Sunday dinner. She took such joy in cooking for her family and of course we couldn’t wait to see my grandmaw, aunts, uncles and cousins. This brings back so many memories. One thing she always had was this dessert. She had to make several of them to feed the bunch. She always had a cherry topping. I haven’t eaten this in probably 30 years. I made this the day after I watched this and it tasted just like I remember. Never thought it would have been that simple. Thank you for sharing.
Yup, it's what we called a "cherry o'cream cheese pie" - and it's amazing with lime juice - yum!
Made two of these in less than a week. Absolutely the best cheesecake I've ever had. Took some to my 47 year old baby in the hospital. She loves it and is getting better. Thanks for the care. Thanks for the prayer. Thanks for the share.
Such good news! 😀
I am new to your channel and absolutely love ❤️ watching you cook and listening to your family stories . It’s refreshing to listen and learn about the Appalachia culture. Thank you so much for sharing this way of life to those that adore this type of folklore and way of life.
So wholesome. So much love for good grannies and mamaws.
It looks delicious. The story behind the dessert is lovely. So glad your Grandma shared her memories. What a joy a close knit family is.
So glad you enjoyed the video 😀
I have fond memories of my grandmother and her allowing me to help in the kitchen. She taught me so much by letting me "GOM". Haven't heard that word in years. Keep sharing.....love watching your videos
This was great! Memories of Grandma, Mamaw, Granny, etc, are what makes us part of a unique culture. Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories.
Love This series reminds me of my grandmother.
I absolutely love cheesecake. If I weren’t on a weight loss diet, I’d be in the kitchen putting one together. Now if you had a great recipe for biscuits.... I’d be all over that. Thank you for sharing and especially speaking so lovingly about your granny. She sounded wonderful...
2 C whole wheat flour, 2 C white flour, 1 t salt, 4 t baking powder. Mix well. Cut in 1/2 a cup of soft butter. Sour 1 1/3 C rich milk with a dab of vinegar. Mix into dry ingredients lightly, pat out on a floured counter, at least 1/2-3/4 inches thick. Cut into about 2 inch squares and place on a baking sheet. (I don't waste time with a circle cutter, but feel free to if you like) 425 degrees for about 12 minutes; they should rise high. Makes about 16. 40 million calories, but who's counting?!
@@jreese8284 These cookies sound delicious and versatile. I'll try making them.
I make a similar cheesecake pretty frequently. I throw in chocolate chips and glaze it with a chocolate ganache on top (and leave out the lemon) and it's super quick and delicious!
This dessert is to die for, its soooo good. My mom called it a "cherry O pie". She would use cherry pie filling on top, and just a lil drop of red food coloring in the mixing just to give the pie a lite pink color. This is like the 'holy grail" of desserts for me.
I spent four years in Weaverville with my grandmother. Watching her cook, and eating her food, and it spills over to me as a grand mother. She didn’t have a lot of time to teach, because she worked full time at Hadley Sweater factory, and had seven grandchildren to care for. I love Sunday dinners, sweet tea, and peach cobbler. We still have Sunday suppers with our children, and grandchildren. Thank you for bringing back a flood of sweet memories.
Mess & gom ! O my gosh it’s been awhile since I’ve heard that ❣️
I love watching you. It kind of makes me teary eyed because you're kind of like someone's aunt showing them how to make things. No one really ever did that with me. Thank you.
i appreciate the no-bake cheesecake recipe, so easy, i like raspberry sauce atop mine. ty tipper.
Looks delicious! I remember my mom making this when I was a kid. I just may try this, again. Thank you!😊🇨🇦
When I watch your videos it feels like I'm sitting at your kitchen table having a chat. Makes me homesick.
I could listen to your family stories all day long. Love hearing your families stories. Always watching here in Mississippi. 🌻❤
This has all ways been one of my family's favorites and there is never enough! this is the best cheesecake ever I can never under stand why people like the stuff from the store
Oooo mama, I love ur kitchen....so reminds me of home.....💝💝💝💝
I love the comment of mess and gum! That is something I heard from my mom as I was growing up. My friend laughed at me for using that comment about my grandchildren visiting me. She had never heard the saying.
I'm from Mississippi and my husband is from West Virginia. I learned how to cook from my granny and mother as well. Mama used to make this same exact recipe. I think she got the recipe from a church cookbook. It is one of my favorite summer desserts for sure. Granny's staple, "go to" dessert was a jelly cake. If you've never heard of that, it is just a basic vanilla/butter, layered cake from scratch with jelly (homemade, any flavor) spread between each layer. It was our pastor's favorite so she made sure to always have it for dinner on the grounds at church. Thank you for sharing. This brought back such precious memories.
I remember this as being called a Cherry-O Cheese Pie, you put cherry pie filling on the top.
That's what I have every year in lieu of a birthday cake for the last.. maybe 40 years? It doesn't taste the same, though, since my Mom's not here to make it.
I love easy recipes like this. Thank you.
That looks delicious!
Watching these recipes is like spending time with family, really nice. 👍
I love to hear you speak!!! Accent is so gentle and sweet.
I’ve made this many times and I’ll usually make a couple of toppings separately because not everyone likes the same thing. Blueberry is a big favourite but I like apple stewed with a little brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla and then just a few lines of caramel sauce over that. Another fast and easy dessert type dish is whipped cream mixed with a bag of mini marshmallows and a well drained can of crushed pineapple mixed together and left to sit for a couple of hours. If I am making it look a little fancy I’ll put Nilla wafers around a glass bowl and put the mixture in them then sprinkle some crushed wafer crumbs over top. I think it was called Pineapple Snow or Fluff in the older Ladies Institute cookbooks. It was popular at picnics and barbecues because you didn’t have to use the stove or oven on hot days and people didn’t want to eat heavy food in the dog days of late August. 🙋🏼
The best feeling in the world is making food that your family loves and asks for again! When my children call me and ask how to make something I've made for them it makes my heart happy! ❤
Oh my goodness, without the cream cheese, that is my family's lemon pie recipe! I will definitely be trying this. Thank you! My go to was banana pudding, in fact I got roped into bringing it for years and years. People were awed by the fact that I topped it with a meringue.
The lemon pie one includes egg yolks the way I made it
I tune in mainly just to hear your voice. It soothes my soul and reminds me of simpler days. God bless you.
First, my wife and I purchased our Kitchen Aid stand mixer circa 1985, and it appears to be the exact model you have. Second, I do the actual bake in a "ban Marie", or "Tia Maria", if you prefer, but you have inspired me to make it, and I will be buying a few packs of Philly cream cheese tomorrow. Oh, and if you have never tried it, I use pistachios chopped in a food processor mixed with butter and sugar as the crust. Toppings for my wife and me are usually some seasonal fruit, which these days in a suburb of a big city is pretty much anything - but I actually prefer blueberries. Thanks as always!
Yum the pistachios sound great I'll have to try that!
I was born in '59,, outhouse and no plumbing was normal in the country,,, big gardens and canning your own was normal. Sunday dinner at Grandma&Gramps was normal. aint nothing normal around here anymore. Glad to find a Normal channel,,God Bless Y'all Forever.👍🏼
The Wife makes it the same way, the cooking the art of conversation and ways of the old days is a dying time. People in a big hurry, fast food fast life miss everything, thank you......ATB
There is something so soothing about cooking and eating together. Thank you for watching 😀
We love your kitchen and videos
I, too, got interested in cooking because I'm a picky eater. And cheesecakes are some of my favorite desserts. Yeah, I'm totally gonna try this one!
FINALLY!! Someone else that uses the word, "gom." I thought it was just our family quirk.
Neither my mom nor either of my grandmothers ever made any kind of cheesecake when I was growing up. I think I was a grown adult before I ever tried it. Dessert was usually some kind of cream pie, a cobbler, or a sheet cake best I can remember. I do remember getting hollered at sometimes for "messin and gommin" in the kitchen looking for a late night snack, lol.
We always had homemade cake on Sunday but we made this in the 70s there were recipe in the magazines
My grandfather made the best cheesecake, and to this day I've never experienced a replication of it. I still love cheesecake, but every time I get one I feel like I'm chasing that dragon that I'll inevitably never catch.
Mamaw! It’s so good to hear that again.
Absolute truth! Our family gatherings and fellowship always revolved around sharing a meal together. My Mom frequently made chicken and dumplins and one of my Dad's favorites was oyster stew (we never ate the oysters). Do y'all eat Persimmon Pudding? It's one of our faves for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My Mom passed her recipe, food mill and pan to one of my nieces. Love Celebrating Appalachia with you! Thanks so much for always bringing us happy memories and great info. Love, Jane in SC❤️🙏 Love that quick cheesecake recipe!
Thank you Jane! I've made persimmon pudding it is good!
