Pie Crust IV

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2012

Perfecting a pie crust has been my downfall for almost 45 years; they end up too tender or too tough, so have resorted to buying a Pillsbury pie crust. While it's a nice crust, I've always wished I could make a decent crust on my one. Today, I was going to make a chess pie for Sunday supper when I realized I was out of my store bought pie crust and thought I would once more attempt to make a crust. After reading about your Grandmother's cottage industry during the depression, I had to try this recipe. I can only say the trimmings that I sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar were so good, I can't wait for the reviews on the crust used in the pie. Thank you SO much for sharing this family heirloom; it now the recipe I will be using!

Fish Tacos

Reviewed: Nov. 27, 2011

Made this recipe the first time, following the direction exactly, and it was fantastic; my family just went wild. I used Cobia, since my husband had just returned from a fishing trip in the Gulf, and we had lots of fish. The batter was so light and tasty, the next time I made this recipe, I doubled the batter and made battered/fried onion rings as well. Another big hit! The white sauce was so popular, I now have a batch on hand in the fridge to use as a dip with chips, on tacos or slightly thinned as a salad dressing. Thank you for sharing this easy and very tasty recipe!

Spicy Bean Salsa

Reviewed: May 29, 2011

Quick, easy and absolutely delicious! Far better than anything store bought, and much less expensive. Once again, I've just made a double batch for a cookout tomorrow, and I'm certain it will be gone within two hours, with lots of requests for the recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Reuben Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2011

I made this for Super Bowl, and it was a huge hit with everyone, especially the men. By chance, I found rye crackers at the local market, that really made this taste like a Reuben sandwich. Thank you for sharing!

Southern Pimento Cheese

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2010

This was without a doubt the best pimento cheese I've ever had! I omitted the jalapenos, and bumped up the cayenne a bit since I like my pimento cheese with a bit of a bite to it. Other than that, this recipe is flawless. Thank you so much for sharing!

Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2010

This has to be my favorite pumpkin bread recipe! The use of butter, instead of oil, gives it much richer taste, with none of the oily taste/feel of other recipes that use oil. A winner!

Pizza Dough I

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2009

I made this recipe for our Saturday night pizza, last night, without mentioning I changed recipes. My husband immediately commented on the crust being like the crust back home (Wooster Street, New Haven, CT) where he grew up. It was absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing!

Easy to make, impossible to ruin (if you keep to the recipe), and without a doubt, a 'melt in your mouth' pie.

Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2009

I made this salad for my husband's lunch omitting the carrot (he doesn't care for carrots) and added a dash of Old Bay seasoning. He loved it so much, I received a call from him telling me he would gladly have this for lunch any day! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Fantastic! Made this yesterday as part of our official "first meal on the deck for the season" gathering. Everyone raved about it, but the proof was there were no leftovers!

Cream Cheese Kolacky

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2008

My late mother made this heavenly cookie for years. When I looked through mother's cookbook after her passing 15 years ago, I was saddened that I was unable to find the recipe. This was one of those things mother made from memory, I believe, so I was certain, the recipe was lost to me. Yesterday, I found your recipe for kolachys, and made a batch. You can not imagine my delight when I realized this was the exact cookie mother made! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, and bringing back so many happy Christmas memories! Cheers!
