Get your printers warmed up (or if you're old fashioned like me get out your pen and recipe card) because this is a good one. Ritz cracker pie's hands-down my FAVORITE pie ever... exclamation point!!! Words cannot describe the wonderfulness of this rich concoction. It isn't comparable to any other pie I've eaten and it's difficult to describe. It's not like pecan pie except for the fact it's very rich and it isn't anything like a mock apple pie which also uses Ritz crackers. All I can say is you HAVE to try this one out. My Aunt Cathy makes it every Thanksgiving or Easter and lets me take the leftovers home (she knows it's my favorite)... nobody has to know I try to hide the pie behind others so it will get picked last hopefully leaving lots for me!!! I hope you try out this wonderful pie during the holidays. You will not regret it. Enjoy... you know I do :)
It's giveaway time!!! Here's an example of the ornament I'm giving away. Every November I get busy making ornaments to sell and this is one of my most popular family ornaments. This year I'm not taking as many orders because I'm busy making Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon ornaments. I've made over 200 so far. All money made is being donated to my Aunt Cathy who was diagnosed with breast cancer and is in the middle of treatment. The money will go toward co-pays and other medical expenses left after the insurance pays. If you want to enter all you have to do is leave a comment. If you want to comment, but don't celebrate Christmas just say you do not wish to participate in the giveaway. GOOD LUCK :)*I FORGOT TO TELL YOU THE DEADLINE FOR THE GIVEAWAY IS SUNDAY*

I've never had this pie before, have only seen the recipe. It sounds so intriguing and I have the crackers on my shelf....
love the ornament also.
Would like to see your cancer ornament also.
The ornaments are adorable!
Your ornament is adorable! I didn't know you were crafty too! I'd love to win one!
BTW..I think it is so wonderful what you are doing for your aunt!! I also have a friend who is a survivor of breast cancer and all us friends got together and had a benefit dinner for her and also sold crafts, baked goods and had a silent auction and helped her with her medical bills, and also household bills since she was unable to work at the time...
