9:27
right now Lindsay
9:30
Lindsay is here from Winchester Virginia
9:34
uh and she made the most delicious
9:37
little things y'all they were kind of
9:39
like little Debbies only a whole bunch
9:42
better uh I I make my children uh two
9:46
brothers chocolate gobs and it's kind of
9:49
like that and Johnny my cousin our
9:52
cousin who owns a bakery in Atlanta
9:55
makes whoopy pies and that REM reminded
9:59
me Lindsay of whoopy pies uh they were
10:03
so good didn't you think so Lori I did
10:06
and most apple cookie recipes turn out
10:09
really soft and Cakey which to me is not
10:11
a cookie so I loved that you were able
10:13
to create something that was solid
10:15
enough to put that filling inside and
10:17
the filling inside was the apple butter
10:19
mixed with the cream cheese was was
10:21
really good thank you so much thank you
10:24
it it was delicious lindsy we tell
10:26
everybody a little bit about yourself
10:29
you know know how you how you wound up
10:31
standing here tonight all right well uh
10:34
it's it's kind of hard to think about
10:37
this but a year ago almost exactly to
10:40
this day uh I was not much of a cook my
10:43
husband pretty much ran the show and uh
10:46
you know I decided um getting close to
10:48
30 I'm a mother I'm a wife and it's
10:52
about time that I learned how to cook so
10:55
I decided who else to kind of help me
10:58
along with this than Paula because she's
11:01
just so welcoming she makes you feel
11:03
comfortable like you can do anything so
11:06
and my husband absolutely loves you by
11:07
the way he's got a little bit of a crush
11:10
you hear that Rudy uh but so I started
11:14
my blog cook and lean like Paula Dean uh
11:17
and I follow Paula's recipes but I give
11:20
it a lean twist because I'm a physical
11:23
education teacher and I that's um health
11:25
and fitness have always been important
11:27
to me so that's been my Journey I've
11:29
just been cooking and learning I mean
11:31
the first time I went to the grocery
11:34
store looking for a leak I had to call
11:35
my mom I was like what's a leak I
11:37
thought that's something that's like in
11:38
the roof or
11:41
something but you know it's been fun i'
11:44
I've learned a lot so it's been a great
11:47
journey I I I tell you what Lindsay if
11:50

12:15
pie that would make you want to slap
12:18

13:15
impressed by you tell
13:18
everybody where you shot your video that
13:21
you sent in I shot this video in my
13:24
local supermarket where I shop quite
13:27
often and they were kind enough to let
13:29
me come in and stand before their
13:31
Philadelphia Cream Cheese display of
13:33
course and I was in cream cheese heaven
13:34
let me tell you because there are so
13:37
many varieties and I was there and I I
13:39
just you know I wanted to put them all
13:40
in my picnic basket but I didn't I was
13:42
honest but uh they let me come and shoot
13:45
it there and I got to meet people and
13:47
there were women there who said I could
13:49
never make that pie because it's very
13:52
beautiful and I said honey let me show
13:55
you and you're going to be a hero when
13:56
you go home and they're going to think
13:58
you got this at the bakery because it's
13:59
so pretty and you can do it I was so
14:03
impressed and I heard that at certain
14:06
points uh during her demo of preparing
14:11
this pie there's no cook no cooking to
14:14
it so she was able to make it on her
14:16
cardboard table at her stand I heard
14:19
that she had as many as 20 people
14:21
gathered around her y'all in the grocery
14:25
store I thought that was so in
14:32
thanks Paula so here we are to little
14:36
number
14:37
16 the last finalist in the competition
14:43
and her name is casy and she is from
14:46
Venice Florida and she made an
14:50
incredible French apple
14:53
tart it was fabulous you liked it didn't
14:55
you I felt like it had come to me
14:58
straight from Paris Paris thank you that
15:00
is an incredible compl it was a very
15:03
sophisticated dessert and I apology for
15:06
your
15:07
creativity thank you so Casey you
15:11
actually lived in Paris for a while
15:13
didn't you tell me we lived in France
15:15
for just over 10 years we actually lived
15:17
in the south of France um KH where the
15:20
film festival is so we had the nice
15:23
sunshine in the Clear Blue Skies all the
15:25
time oh and and you actually learned to
15:28
make this tart there right I did when we
15:31
first went to France um I found the
15:34
recipe through a friend and she taught
15:36
me how to make it I changed it a bit uh
15:39
because I added the Philadelphia cream
15:41
cheese and I created a topping to go
15:44
with it in um a French household that is
15:48
a cake that is served without anything
15:50
on top of it so I kicked it up and not
15:53
you made it very American by putting a a
15:56
cold topping on top of the warm cake yes
15:59
and tell everybody each slice was topped
16:03
with an oblong I thought it was ice
16:06
cream propped on the tart but what was
16:09
it it was a mix of whipped cream and
16:13
Philadelphia Cream Cheese nuts and honey
16:17
variety and you whip the cream cheese so
16:19
it's nice and soft you whip the cream
16:22
and then you fold the two together and
16:24
you just pop it into the freezer for
16:25
about 15 20 minutes and you have these
16:28
Wonder wonderful little Delights they're
16:31
better than ice cream you have to try it
16:33
it was delicious but I have to tell
16:36
y'all everything was so
16:40
delicious and
16:42
uh so it's okay about time to wrap up
16:46
