Key Lime Pie

So many key lime pie recipes out there are complicated, and include gelatin and lots of other totally unnecessary ingredients.

This original recipe for key lime pie is simple and irresitable.

Ingredients

1 9" graham cracker crust
1/2 cup key lime juice (it's better with key lime juice, but this recipe works fine with just plain old lime juice. Similarly, fresh squeezed is better, but the bottled kind will work fine)
14. oz of condensed sweetened milk (interesting note: In the Florida keys, there were no cows, so the only milk available to them was canned milk that came in shipments.)
4 egg yolks
1/2 c heavy cream

Directions

Add juice, milk, and eggs to a blender. Mix well. Pour into crust and bake 15 minutes at 325 to set the pie. Let cool and then refridgerate.

The pie is good alone, but much better with fresh whipped cream. When you're ready to serve it, add the cream to a bowl and beat it on high speed until it forms peaks. Spread this on top of the pie and serve.

Three-Bean Enchiladas

Ingredients

1 can of refried beans
1 can black beans
1 can garbonzo beans
1 can enchilada sauce
tortillas (I prefer using 9 or 10 6" corn tortillas)
1/2 cup salsa
1 cup cheddar cheese

Steps

Mix beans and salsa. Warm the tortillas, or (if you are feeling ambitious), add a layer of enchilada sauce to a frying pan and warm each tortilla in the sauce on each side. Fill the tortilllas, roll them, and add to a casserole dish. Cover with enchilada sauce and top with cheese. Bake covered at 350 for 30 minutes, and then uncover to brown the cheese.
