Happy Pi Day

Today to celebrate π day my daughter and her friends made a Hershey Pie.  This pie has become a tradition in our house.  Years ago, when we first moved in, there was a huge hurricane in the Westchester area.  Many houses were flooded and lost electricity.   My good friend came over with all the ingredients and we made this Hershey Pie for the upcoming π day at school.  We had the best time and it was such a fun day among the chaos of the weather around us.  We also made this for a pie contest and it came in 2nd place two years in a row!!!!!!   ENJOY!!


Ingredients:

6 regular sized Hersey Milk Chocolate Bars
1 tub Cool Whip (thawed)
1 Oreo Pie Crust
Hershey Kisses to decorate




Instructions:
1. Melt 5 of your Hershey Bars either in the microwave or in a double boiler. (set aside the other bar)
2. Add all the Cool Whip and stir until completely combined. 
3. Pour the mixture into the piecrust. 
4. Decorate your pie with the Kisses and Chocolate Bar shavings from the leftover bar. 
5. Refrigerate the pie for at least and hour and serve cold.

Bed Side Flowers

A very easy way to cheer up your space is to keep a small bouquet on your bed side table.  It does not have to be an elaborate display just a few blooms, maybe even from your garden.  It makes such a difference to wake up next to fresh flowers.  It’s so cheery and the smell is wonderful.  Here are some simple yet beautiful arrangements.  Give it a try…….
