Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie by Amos Miller

Too early for real, fresh fruit pies here - but Spring brings Key Limes, and that means unbaked Key Lime Pie with a slightly sweetened sour cream topping. I use pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs, so there is no issue with salmonella and I can move the pies from prep to cooler. Saves a load of time and makes a fabulous, flavorful,…

Jean's Potato Salad

Jean's Potato Salad by Micheline

My friend Jean makes one of the best potato salad I have tasted. She shared her recipe with me. Here is her easy, quick and tasty recipe. Great for a potluck. I have also modified it several times by adding: diced bacon, diced celery and diced sweet pickles. Both ways, it is delicious.

Anyone Can Pickle! Cherries, Sweet, Spicy and Fast!

Anyone Can Pickle! Cherries, Sweet, Spicy and Fast! by kathy gori

The little squeaky voice in my head in the middle of summer that says "save all those wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables you see now, its going to be a long cold winter". I love looking into my larder when the rain is…
