Grandma Koehler's Pumpkin Pie by Glenn

Grandma Koehler preferred the long neck green stripe pumpkin (actually a gourd) for her pies. The result was that in addition to the unique taste the filling was stringy, much like spaghetti. If you are not that venturesome, any good pumpkin will work just fine with this recipe. It is not an easy recipe but it includes a number of…

I NEVER THOUGHT I,D BE USING A MICROWAVE TO MAKE A GOOD PIE OF ANY FLAVOR! TRULY THIS RECIPE MAKES A DELICIOUS PIE AS LONG AS YOU STRAIN THE PIE FILLING BEFORE PUTTING INTO CRUST. USING AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT FLAVOR OF CHIPS IS WHAT MAKES THE FLAVOR STAND OUT.

Top of the Line Banana Nut Bread by J. Gino Genovesi

This bread is light and tender yet firm,, and has a mixture of flavors appealing to the taste buds. I began cooking at any early age and mostly used family recipes.

Open Faced Peach Mango Cobbler w/Crystallized Ginger by Smokinhotchef

Peaches and mangoes are wonderful and bright with natural, juicy sweetness, unmatched by many. This cobbler is a little more figure friendly in that there is only one crust as opposed to the traditional two. Ginger makes a notable appearance in this recipe for a natural spiciness and the luxury of being one of the super spices and…

Aunt Betty's Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars by Carolinaheartstrings

I used to make these cookies all the time when I was a teenager and I have not made her…
