My Mother’s favorite Pie was Coconut Cream Pie and as kids, we didn’t care for the coconut so perhaps that is why she liked this pie….she had it all to herself! Way to go Mom! You were pretty clever and I wish I would have thought of something like that when raising my kids. 🙂…
This Raisin Cream Pie was a favorite of my Grandfather Joe’s. Grandma made it and sugar cookies on a regular basis. It must have been good for him because he lived to be almost 100 years old. He went to be with the Lord shortly before his 100th Birthday. I loved my Grandfather and…
Red Raspberries and Cherries! What a duo! I love the colors of these fruits together….there is something about the red bubbly raspberries and cherries that makes one want to sit down, have a cup of coffee (or tea) and enjoy a sumptuous treat! I also have a cherry-peach pie recipe that I will be posting…
Berry Pies are wonderful and blueberry pie is no exception. I like to buy blueberries in bulk and lay them flat on a cookie sheet and put in my freezer. Then I bag them up in the proportions I want and seal them in freezer bags. Freezing them first keeps them from sticking and mushing…
Butterscotch Pie is hardly made these days. I am not sure why because I like the caramel tasting custard. It kind of reminds me of those butterscotch candies we used to get in the Market. If you make this and have not had Butterscotch Pie before…let me know what you think. Me
Pineapple Pie is a good pie for a warm summer day…it just makes you think you are in the Islands somewhere, perhaps on a Pineapple Plantation and you are indulging in a slice of sweet pineapple. You can make this pie open faced (no crust or meringue) and just top it with a scoop of…
Fresh Peach Pie….or Peach cobbler makes you think of comfort foods. I grew up with comfort foods and I still enjoy them. In moderation of course. But why deny oneself one of the pleasures in life of eating great and good food, that is my motto….. This pie just screams Summertime and fruit orchards! Please…
This Banana Cream Pie recipe has been around our family for years. My Dad liked bananas and this was a favorite. Mother would make 3 pies….Chocolate Meringue Pie for us girls, Coconut Meringue Pie for herself and Banana Cream Pie with Meringue for Dad. We grew up on a farm and have always had laying…
The Lady of Camellias! I went out to the Lanai after church on Sunday and noticed that one of the bowls of Camellias surrounding the waterfall looked…well, looked wilted! I laughed out loud! So you say…perhaps some water would help! No, water is not the issue here…well, it did have something to do with its…
I am not going to call this a soup although it is going to be in the soup category. I used to make home made egg noodles until I found a secret. Reames frozen Noodles. This is so good that no one and I mean no one will be able to tell that you didn’t…
This is a great chowder recipe. Easy to make and tastes so good. It is colorful with the red and green peppers and the corn. My family loves this recipe and I hope you do to. I got the recipe about 50 years ago in the local newspaper. The newspaper has since gone out of…
As the weather gets colder, my thoughts turn to soup! It doesn’t matter what kind of soup… as I love almost any soup. I like to pair soup with salad or a sandwich. Some soups just call for a certain type of sandwich, such as tomato soup with grilled cheese. Yummy! But a long time…
