Never, Never Fail Pie Pastry
I have made pie crust from scratch for years, but decided needed a change, I LOVE THIS! I have no problem using lard, but in this case had none, so used all crisco..it was perfect. I used all cold ingrediants so no refridgeration was needed after mixing. It rolled beautifully and baked just lovely. If it is a bit sticky after mixing just flour your counter and put a bit on the dough itself..don't add to much flour then it will not stick together. Also if it is too cold it will crack and not roll out so nicely.

Quick and Easy Brownies
Decided wanted to try a new brownie recipe, won't make that mistake again, I followed the recipeminus 1/2 cup flour, this is non rising cake, not brownies. the batter should be thicker, darker in colour, I will give this to my grand kids but not to guests. Not brownies...this is cake

Apple Spice Cake
Made this recipe today, was looking for something different. I followed recipe for the most part, I did reduce sugar to cup and half, but everyones sweet tooth is different and I did half/half brown/white sugar, also used whole wheat/all purpose half and half. Shredded the apples, and didn't use butter at all, used apple sauce only...was hoping it wouldn't be too much apple...It was fine, husband and step-daughter loved it. I added walnuts, but that's my personal liking..would use this again..
