Bessie’s Green Jell-o
According to legend, this holiday salad was always served at Christmas dinners at my Great-Grandma Bessie’s house. My mom makes it now and in spite of the seemingly horrible ingredients (!!) it is so popular in my family that she always has to make a double batch for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My version: I use… Continue reading Bessie’s Green Jell-o
Peach Cobbler Bars
Continuing the theme of using up all the frozen fruit in my freezer... My husband brought home about 14 bags of frozen whatevers last spring after a "slushie party" at his school. So with the first two bags of frozen peaches I tried this recipe: Peach Pie Crumb Bars. It was a whim and an… Continue reading Peach Cobbler Bars
Cherry-Blueberry Cobbler
As Spring begins to sneak into my consciousness, I clean. The house, the yard, and yes... the freezer. I have several dozen bags of fruit in my freezers that I suddenly feel compelled to use up so there will be room for this year's harvest. Today's project: "Operation half bag of sour cherries + half… Continue reading Cherry-Blueberry Cobbler
Pumpkin Spice Bread
There was a convergence of circumstance at my house this holiday season: I was broke, we were almost out of weekday freezer breakfasts, and we had grown a TON of beautiful winter squash.

The recipe is based on the great Martha Stewart's pear upside-down cake. … Continue reading Pear Upside-Down Cake
Pina Colada Zucchini Bread
Everyone who grows zucchini will eventually have one or two zucchini that are WAY too big to eat normally. It's not your fault, the leaves grew up over it, the light was bad, you were on vacation, blah blah blah. I had my first one of the season about two weeks in this year. Oops!… Continue reading Pina Colada Zucchini Bread
Lemon Meringue Pie
I landed my husband with a Lemon Meringue Pie. Well sort of. There was a now famous birthday party where the host (a mutual friend) told his guests to arrive bearing a pie, a talent to perform, and quarters. I understood what was happening with the talent. still not sure about the quarters, but there… Continue reading Lemon Meringue Pie
Perfect Pie Crust
I know, from speaking with some of my friends and clients, that people find pie crust a little intimidating. My grandma was a big pie maker. My cousins and I have been making pie crust from scratch since we were in the single digits, so it's took me a while to really understand this. Pie-making… Continue reading Perfect Pie Crust
