Chocolate cream pie

Suddenly I felt like chocolate pie, don't know where it came from. Kinda blame it on watching The Help again...lol 

So here is my variation of the Chocolate pie! 

9 inch pie crust, baked

3 cups skim milk

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 

Pinch of salt

3 egg yolks, beaten

1 tbs butter

1 tbs vanilla extract 

3 tbs corn starch

In a big bowl beat egg yolks with salt and sugar, add corn starch, vanilla, milk and cocoa powder. 

Pour the mixture in a pot and put it on the stove on medium high, stirring constantly until it boils. 

Pour it right away in a clean bown and add the butter, mix it till it melts. 

Leave it aside for 15-20 mins to cool. 

Pour everything in the cooked crust and leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours. 

Meatball Orzo soup

Here is my variation of italian soup. Tasty and cozy for the fall weather.

You will need- 

Holy trinity - 1 carrot, 1/2 onion, 2 stalks of celery.

2 tbs olive oil

Meatballs (I used premade)

1 can of tomatoes 

Uncooked Orzo 1/2 cup

1 1/2 cup chicken stock

Salt, pepper

Spices to your taste

Parmesan 

In a big pot heat up the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes. Tyrn the heat to medium low and add the meatballs (the quantity is up to you).

Mix it all and add the chicken stock. Cover with the lid and cook for 15 min or until the meatballs are cooked. Add orzo and tomatoes. Add salt and pepper and spices. Cook for 10-15 min. 

Serve with Parmesan.
