Alabama NewsCenter — Recipe: Peanut Butter Cream Pie

If you’ve been hanging around these parts for any length of time, you’ve probably heard me tell stories about my grandparents – especially the vast gardens my grandfather used to keep. Acres around his house were dedicated to growing a whole host of things, from tomatoes and squash, to beans and peas, watermelon and cantaloupe, potatoes and corn. To this day, I still don’t know how the man had time to hold a full-time job, tend cows, keep all the gardens and still make it to choir practice and church on Sunday. I think the days had to be longer back then.

I remember so many trips to the garden with him. Whether we were planting, pulling weeds or harvesting, I have such fond memories of spending time in those fields. I distinctly remember one summer when he decided to plant a few rows of peanuts. I had always been impressed, even as a kid, at this man’s green thumb. He could turn seeds, soil and water into just about anything. And this was no different. Those peanuts popped right up and gave us some of the best boiled peanuts I ever remember having.
