Chocolate Cream Pie II
Both my husband and I grew up with the chocolate pies made from instant pudding. The first time, I made this (for Christmas), my husband couldn't understand why I would bother making it from scratch. Then we tasted it. Now, we will never go back to the instant pudding pie. On this first try, I used whole milk and white sugar just as the recipe is written. Today, I made if for a second time, using nonfat milk and 3/4 cup splenda blend in place of 1.5 cup sugar. This lighter version came out just as velvety smooth and delicious.

Wild Rice Harvest Casserole
This recipe has great flavor and texture. I got a lot of compliments on it. It took a while to assemble and needed to bake, covered, longer than perscribed to cook the wild rice, but it really is good.
