Lunch At Grandma's House

I had lunch with my Grandma last Wednesday.

It was really fun!

And she made another great lunch, including this yummy caramel apple pie.

I had two pieces!

And then I took a nap.

Ha ha

So sweet and gooey, but not too sweet.

It tasted healthy......in a good way.

Lunch With Grandma

I visited my Grandma last week.

She gave me a cute brown sweater that she had knitted

and cooked a wonderful lunch.

The main meal was Tater Crust Tuna Pie, mashed potatoes and green beans.

It was so yummy!

Tater Crust Tuna Pie

Crust: 1 cup flour

1/2 cup potato flakes

1/2 cup butter

4 Tbs. ice water

1 can 2.8 oz french-fried onions - divided

Filling: 3/4 cup potato flakes

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese - divided

2 Tbs. chopped green olives

1 can 6.5 oz tuna - drained and flaked

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 egg

Combine flour and potato flakes, cut in butter until crumbly.

Add water, 1 Tbs at a time, until dough is moist enough to hold together.

Press pastry over bottom and up sides of ungreased 9 in or 10 in pie plate.

Set aside 1/2 cup of french fried onions.

Sprinkle remaining onions into pastry shell.

In a bowl, combine all fill ingredients except 1/2 cup of cheese.

Spoon filling over onions.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 mins.

or until crust is golden.

Sprinkle with reserved cheese and onions.

Bake additional 5-10 mins or until cheese is melted.

Let stand 5 mins before cutting.

6-8 servings.

Then we had a delicious squash pie.

It's just like pumpkin pie, but fluffier and lighter and made from my Grandma's homegrown squash.

And then we had blackberry/apple pie.

Hee hee!

We like pie.

My Grandma's blackberry crop was really good this year.
