Never Fail Pie Crust III
About this Cook
I'm just a housewife for the time being and like to cook, and bake new things and make my Mr. try all the new things :) Although I'm still at my young age of 21, I have been cooking and taking many classes since I was about 10.
My favorite things to cook
i like to bake bread and any type of sweets, I have a BIG sweet tooth! Being from New Mexico, I know how to cook many new mexican food dishes like green and red chilie enchiladas, and tortillas with pinto beans etc. but my boyfriend being from Virginia and Alabama isn't too fond of the mexican food dishes, he misses his southern comfort foods, so I'm trying to learn and master all of his favorites!
My favorite family cooking traditions
People often love my chocolate mousse, guacamole, and lasagne

Soft Sandwich Buns
These are amazing, I make them just about every week! I make them into hoagie shaped buns and use them for meatball subs, or buffalo chicken sandwhiches, burgers, anything! They really are great, people always ask where I bought them, they always ask for the recipe, thank you so much!

Never Fail Pie Crust III
This is a great easy pie crust recipe! Its not quite as good as one with eggs and vinegar, but it is very flaky and really does melt in your mouth! I didn't refridgerate mine, instead I put it in the freezer for about 3 hours. I also added a teaspoon of white sugar. Make sure your shortening is chilled, it makes things much easier!
