This amazing Summer Pie recipe goes back over 30 years — and it’s still a family favorite.  It’s light, yet so incredibly flavorful.  A perfect combination of crunchy and sweet too…

If you happen to be joining me from the Summer Blog Hop — WELCOME!!!  I’m so glad you’re here and I hope that you find some fabulous inspiration.  A big thank you to Kendra from Joy In Your Home for coordinating this hop too!

So, over 30 year ago, we lived in the small town of Warren, Pennsylvania.  My dad pastored a church there and a family we grew very close to were the Reeds.  Clayton (the husband) served on the church board and my parents became very close with both Clayton and Joyce (his wife).  I remember going to their house often and hanging out with their kids, Doug and Kim.

Recipe at livelaughrowe.comThis recipe is one that my mom has penned on a recipe card by Joyce.  This past April my brother was asked what he wanted for his birthday cake, his reply “Summer Pie.”  Of course we then reminisced about Warren, the Reed’s and how Joyce was known for this recipe.

That’s one thing about food, recipes and the kitchen.  Memories can originate with them and many of them are fond ones.

Maybe this Summer Pie recipe will become a new family fave!  It certainly won’t disappoint.  Mmmm, I wish I had some sitting in my fridge right now (sigh). I do know that it never lasts long.  Enjoy.

    i have an aunt,uncle and cousins (Pete and Marge Smith and their children Ken,Kyle, Kurt & Karen) have lived in Warren for over 30 years! We always visited them for the 4th of July parade and then picnic at their home. Great times! My family used to make this recipe as well😀

    I can’t wait to try this. It sounds and looks amazing. I think it would be easy to modify to be gluten free. Yum!

    This looks so good and sounds so much better than the way my mom’s friends used to make it, with Cool Whip! Just one question — is it regular canned milk or Eagle Brand type sweetened? Big difference. 😉 Thanks!
