creamy corn soup

This recipe was just super easy--we got it off allrecipes.com. I wanted to save it so I didn't forget about it--it was really good too!

Ingredients

• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 (12 ounce) cans whole kernel corn
• 2 1/2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• ground cayenne pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic, parsley and butter or margarine. Saute for about 5 minutes, or until onions are tender.
2. Add the flour, stirring well, to make a pasty mixture. Whisk in the milk and the broth. Add the corn and the cream cheese and allow to heat through. Add the garlic salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir together and serve.

mile-high raspberry pie

doesn't this just look AMAZING?

we made it, and it really IS amazing.

i'd recommend just making the crust in the pie plate, because i tried the crumbling-it-in method she suggests and it was literally just crumbs that we ended up just sprinkling on top of the pie when we scooped it out.

it's really easy though. definitely recommend this one!
