W E THINK THESE ARE WORTH A TRY . From Stacey’s Blog: Chess pie goes by many names, often based on the ingredients that are added to it. Buttermilk Pie, Vine- gar Pie, etc. But they all fall into the chess pie category. This classic dessert is based on four ingredients — eggs, milk, butter and sugar. But did you know you can substitute eggnog for buttermilk? Turns out, with a few tweaks, eggnog makes an amazing substitution — like super amazing! It’s so easy to make, too. Just mix, pour and bake. You can make your own crust (if you’re feeling industrious), use a pre-shaped frozen one, or do like me and use a refrigerated crust you roll out into the pie pan. Just make sure it’s a deep dish.
