Cottage Cheese Pie

This is another one of those recipes that I don't really love, but Jon does, so here it is! His dad makes this every holiday season.

I really wish I was a pie maker. Jon's mom makes the most amazing pie crust and I did try to have her mentor me on how to make it, but I can't seem to get it - I think it takes too much patience!

2 c. cottage cheese

1 c. sugar

1 Tbsp. flour

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking powder

3 Tbsp. melted butter

3 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 Tbsp. grated orange peel

3 eggs

uncooked pie shell

Mix first 6 ingredients and blend well. Add juice, orange rind and beaten eggs - beat all for 2 minutes. Pour into uncooked pie shell. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Lower temperature to 300 and bake for 30 minutes.

The inspiration

For a couple of years I have been typing up recipes and dreaming of getting them all into a book - one place that I can look for all of our go-to recipes we've compiled over the first 15 years of our marriage. But I hit a slump and became discouraged that this was never going to happen. Until the other night when I was talking to my friends Julie and Eric and they loved the idea, and Eric suggested that instead of a book, I create a blog! This way I could post what I already have typed up, it would all be in one spot, and maybe someday if I ever do actually get it put into a cookbook, it will be ready!
