One of my favorite authors is Fannie Flagg. I love the depth of characters she creates, plus I also seem to know personally some of the more colorful personalities in her stories. My favorite way to experience a Fannie Flagg novel is audio book. She reads the stories herself and her delightful Southern twang just brings her people to life and pulls me right into the events. I have a particular fondness for Neighbor Dorothy. Neighbor Dorothy was a home economist during the golden age of radio and aired a daily show, sponsored by Golden Flake Flour, right from her living room. Her voice was friendly and helpful and filled the lonely kitchens of rural farm wives. She always had an uplifting word to share as well as lots of useful advice and household hints.
In true Neighbor Dorothy fashion I would love to share a scrumptious recipe I recently enjoyed. The creator called it Hospitality Pie and says she often makes several at a time and freezes them until she needs them for a funeral, or new mother etc.
2 graham cracker crusts
8oz cream cheese
1can sweetened condensed milk
1 small box instant butterscotch pudding
1 12oz container whipped topping
1 jar caramel topping
1 cup chopped pecans (toasted)
Combine the cream cheese, milk and pudding until well blended.
Fold in the whipped topping.
Spoon evenly into 2 crusts.
Sprinkle with toasted pecans and drizzle caramel over top.
Chill until ready to serve.
These can be frozen up to 3 months.
