Southern Buttermilk Pie & Siracha Marinade

Today was a better day for food, because I made this:

 

And guess what? I'm posting my recipe. At least as close as I can get to it as possible, I don't always measure things and when I do they normally aren't exact. This particular one is with a store bought pie crust, I haven't yet perfected my own pie crust recipe yet but rest assured (because I know your life will not be complete without it) I will post it once I get it figured out. :)

Southern Buttermilk Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 9inch Pie Crust (get the kind in the freezer section, not the refrigerated roll out kind- those are gross)
• 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
• 2 cups Sugar
• 3 TBSP Flour (don't scrape the top even, make them full tablespoons)
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (use pure, not imitation, if possible)
• Nutmeg (however much you want to dust over the top)

Directions:

1. Place your pie crust in a pie pan if it did not come in one.
2. Cream together butter & sugar using a mixer until combined and kind of fluffy.
3. Add flour and eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
4. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract until completely combined. It will be a very liquidy mixture.
5. Pour into prepared pie crust, dust nutmeg over the top.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. (Do the toothpick test if uncertain about doneness, it should come out clean after being stuck in the middle.)

**Make sure to let this cool COMPLETELY before serving otherwise you are going to have a mushed up mess. The pie is a little jiggly after coming out of the oven and needs at least an hour and a half to set.

 

yum.

 

 

If anyone attempts this please leave a comment and let me know what you think!

 

 

This was not the only thing I cooked today. I did some pretty awesome baked chicken breasts marinated in a rosemary siracha mixture, some green beans, and deviled eggs. Of course I took a picture.

 



 

Siracha Marinade:

• 1/3 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (I used Fage)
• 2 TBSP Lemon Juice
• 2 TBSP Siracha
• 2 TBSP Olive Oil
• 1 TBSP chopped Rosemary
• 2 tsp minced Garlic

Just mix it all together and marinate away! You're welcome

 

*Quick tip for green beans if you are cooking them from a can: add a TBSP of butter and a small block of beef bouillon. Cook them on low for 45 minutes- delicious. 

 

 

Now guys, I know it looks kind of impossible that I made my calorie goal for the day based on what's been posted above, but I consumed less than 1200 calories today. I also completed Day 4 of my 30 day shred. I'm on my way!
