Grilled Rib Eye with Garlic Butter; Buttery Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes; Dreamy Coconut Cream Pie

Okay. First of all, rib-eye and garlic butter - need I say more. Outrageously delicious. The Buttery Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes were okay. Probably would have enjoyed them more if we were not already addicted to Pioneer Woman's mashed potato recipe which has cream cheese in them. THOSE are to die for!! Last, the Coconut Cream Pie was disappointing. The cream part was not nearly as smooth and decadent as making it the old-fashioned way (from the red and white checked cookbook) where you cook the custard on the stove top and then stir in the coconut. I also prefer meringue to the whipped cream. However, I did like the addition of the rum! I will try that in my old recipe and see how that works out!!.
