Valentine's Day Cake for my husband
About this Cook
I'm an antiques dealer on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake and make desserts.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother's stuffing! It has EVERYTHING in it - sausage, ground beef, celery, onion, etc.......
My cooking triumphs
My carrot cake is pretty good - I use a modified version from allrecipes.
My cooking tragedies
I made a casserole for a few close friends - a new recipe I had never tried before. After they left I found that someone had spelled "Help Me" in grated cheese on the leftovers (there was quite a bit leftover needless to say)!

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie
Thank you Grandma Ople! Her tradition carries on through each and every holiday. We love this recipe, I do add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon - I mix it into the apples rather than the sauce. I combine the apples with 1/2 the sauce then put it in the shell. I top with lattice and pour and brush the remainder on. I use the premade rolled out crusts when I'm pressed for time and I can't tell the difference between those and homemade - not like the frozen crusts that come in the pan. Thank you for a new tradition!

Asian Beef with Snow Peas
Absolutely loved this stir fry. I threw in carrots and mushrooms as well. Didn't have snow peas so I used frozen sugar snap peas which worked well in this recipe.

Pie Crust IV
This has become my new basic crust - I do like more of a butter taste, so I use 1/2 butter & 1/2 shortening. This dough is SO easy to work with, I love it. I did double the recipe to make a two crust pie, I had to add some extra flour. The key is to keep everything cold and add the water just a tablespoon at a time, as I only used about 3/4 of the water. While rolling out the first half for the bottom, keep the other 1/2 in the fridge. Use ice water and put shortening and butter in the freezer for about 15 minutes before using. For an applie pie, I added 1 teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe!
