In the Kitchen with Judy

As many of you know, my mom left this life in 1988.  She was far too young and had so much more to give... and the selfish child that I am,  wants her back.  Two of the things that keeps her close to me are church ( she loved church, she loved singing and most importantly she loved our Lord) and she loved to cook.   When I am missing her more than usual, I often find myself in the kitchen (thus the title)  attempting one of her recipes.   Now for clear clarification... my mom did NOT use recipes... She cooked from scratch without any help.  She  could eat something and then go home and recreate it... One time we were in Duncan at WoolWorth's (long time ago) at their little café.  They had a strawberry pie... she had a slice.. figured out what she thought it was and of course went home and created it.. And it was better than theirs!  Anyway.... Here is her version of "Sexy Pie"... according to my daughter Amy, the original was called "Better than sex pie" and Mom did not like the title, so she renamed it! 
  Hope you enjoy!
