About me:
I am recently married and trying to learn to cook. I am trying to make us healthy meals and I am not a big meat eater but my husband is just the opposite. It is quite a challenge! He gave in to trying salads though so I might not have to endure another night of meatloaf! We love ethnic food also and I come from a huge Italian family with great food. My mom is an amazing cook and makes everything from scratch but it is a little too advanced for me and intimidating! Do you know anyone who makes Beef Stew from scratch? We also love Southern Food (Thank God for Paula Deen) and comfort food. I just wish it was healthier. Working full time also means meals have to be made relatively quick!

Sweet Potato Pie IX

Reviewed on Nov. 28, 2008 by moonlitcalm 
I combined this recipe with the Crumb Topping for Pies recipe from this site. I was afraid it would be too sweet but I forgot the sugar for the filling and it turned out perfect. I also added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and used a shortbread crust. I topped the 2 pies with the crumb topping and stuck them in the oven for 30 minutes, then I topped them with marshmallows and cooked for another 10 minutes. The result was the best sweet potato pie that my sister-in-law and I had ever tasted!

Dutch Apple Pie with Oatmeal Streusel

Reviewed on Oct. 13, 2008 by acarontino 
Absolutely the best applie pie I have ever had! I used Macoun and Jazz apples and they were great. The only thing I changed was I added 2 tbls. of cornstarch to sugar mixture because my pie fillings are always runny. It came out perfect. I sliced apples thinly (not cubed) just like picture showed and I am glad I did. It was layers and layers of soft, sweet apples. I saw some reviewers who said bottom crust was not cooked all the way and a little soft. I love my crust like that and that is how it came out (I'm a little weird I guess), but that is an easy fix. Just brush crust with egg and bake 5-10 minutes before adding filling. My husband likes his crust crispy so I do that for him. Excellent, excellent recipe. Make this tonight!
